   I think that many people forget or overlook the fact that Dick Cary was 
the pianist on two of the finest live Louis Armstrong concerts ever recorded.  
The "magnificent"Town Hall" concert and "Satchmo at Symphony Hall." Cary's fine 
piano work was an important ingredient.  I once called him ( out of the blue 
as he didn't know me) just to talk about that.
