Listmates,

After reading the exchange about Frank Lloyd Wright etc, I forwarded it to
Igor.

When Igor was the guest star for the Sacramento Traditional Jazz Society in
February of '02, I wrote an article called "The Other Side of Igor," for our
newsletter.  The article, complete with a shot of Igor from the rear, told
about many things that Igor had done besides Jazz music.  One was working as
an architectural draftsman for several Frank Lloyd Wright projects including
Grady Gammage Auditorium.

Below is Igor's response.
