Michigan doesn't play until 8 p.m. tonight so i came to help out. chilly and rainy here....:hi:

7. Rainy, but not chilly here.

It's been raining nearly every day for months. But I still love it, having not gotten over my seven years in Arizona, when it rained only three times.

Good of you to handle communications.

6. On Ellington's "Recollections of the Big Band Era"...

He does a fantastic version of the "One O'Clock Jump" as a tribute to Basie. Wondering if that can be found.

And from another direction, still got that Bireli LaGren disc? Wondering that too.

Thanks for it all. :loveya: Beaming love toward Ypsilanti.

not too shabby. waiting for the phones to explode now; she's just about ready to give away tickets to Marian McPartland. can you believe she's 88 and still touring? incredible...:woohoo:

[immoderate]

19. Marion was one of the first jazz artists I ever saw live.

It was at Nathan's Hot Dogs in Long Beach, Long Island in 1961 I think. They had an outdoor "beer garden."
