Heading for MUSIC

The story so far: Jeremy rode the KTM across Spain, caught the ferry to Melilla and spent his first night in Morocco in a dirt-floored room cut into the side of a hill.

Then, further on, in the bleakest and most windswept and remote places there would be a man or woman sitting at the side of the road.

Where they came from or how long it took them to get there was a complete mystery.
