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. The owner warned him of rain, snow and wind in the Atlas Mountains, but he rode over them anyway.

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.
