   Hey...I'm here in Wisconsin...safely away from any meaningful music...and 
conversation.

    I've been guesting on relatives' computers and so I am not able to post 
much.  I have been hassling about decisions with relatives involving going into 
an assisted living place.  that may come about soon but there are problems 
with finances and other crap. I hope to be computerized once I m in there.  I 
had a kindly offer from a Lister to provide me with a computer. But  I have a 
computer and it is at my son's house in Illinois.  Hopefully, he will bring it 
up here.

Once I get situated I hope to start work on a book.  I 've had a lot of 
encouragement to do so.  My energy level is very low so we'll see how it goes.

Thank you, Bob, for you kind comments on the CD "Snag IT"  Franz Jackson with 
Jim Beebe's Chicago Jazz on Delmark.  This is very much available through the 
Jazz Record Mart in Chicago or you can get it at <A HREF="www.judikjazz.com">www.judikjazz.com</A>

This recording  was a labor of love as it was my tribute to Franz Jackson.  A 
great Chicago lineup with Bob Neighbor, Greg Sergo, Joe Johnson, Max Hook, 
Jack Meilahn, Jimmy Johnson and Franz on clarinet, tenor, soprano and vocals.  
ll of the tunes are a part of Franz's history and of Jazz history.  For 
example, Franz is the only guy who does "Didn't He ramble" with the orginal vocal 
verses and the complete "Flee s a bird" hymn.

So, hang on...I'll be back.

Jim Beebe
