Consider the series f0(z)=k=1(1)k1(z1)kk. This series converges to the natural log on the disk B1(1). Now consider it's derivative

k=1(1)k1(z1)k1=1z

This series is defined everywhere on the punctured plane. Therefore we can analytically continue 1z in 1;; the punctured plane, as long as the disks don't touch the origin. But this means that we can also analytically continue the logarithm in 1;; the punctured plane, along this disk chain.
