Dear Dick,

Thank you so very much for your comments.

My feelings about your cancer go without saying.

But to have played with Hackett, Wilson, Stacey, Martha Tilton and Hamp! 
Yes, you're right: few have been as blessed as you (regardless of 
religion, one way or the other).

By the way, have you ever heard the recording of Goodman on a borrowed 
tenor sax, sitting in with Krupa's band on "Georgia" (in B flat)? No: 
neither have I, John Chilton refers to it in his notes to an Arbors 
Kenny Davern/Ken Peplowsky CD ("The Jazz Kennection"): apparently Ruby 
Braff had a tape of it that he sent to Davern. I'd love to hear it.

Anyway, I envy you. And I wish you well for the future. My thoughts are 
with you.

All the best,

Jim Denham
