Ruby Braff has been ailing for several weeks. He's in a nursing home in No.
Chatham, MA. If you'd like to send some positive messages of support,
address any cards and letters to:

Ellington content: The Ruby Braff - George Barnes Quartet recorded a great
version of "It Don't Mean A Thing . . ." It is one of my all time
non-Ellington versions.

And besides, I love Ruby's playing and had the honor of playing with him in
Cleveland in 1967.

LYM,
