[Dixielandjazz] Late night ballads

[Ken Gates]

Listmates--
When it's late in the evening with romance on your mind---and you
want to hear dreamy ballads---like "Body and Soul", "I Surrender 
Dear", "Ghost of a Chance" ---etc,etc, (there are hundreds).  Lots
of CD's available---my choices would be Ben Webster, Johnny
Hodges, Wild Bill, Bobby Hackett,  Ruby Braff, etc, etc.
But what if you could be with live musicians in a cozy lounge.
Who would you call upon from current musicians?  I can think of
some who I have heard recently----Harry Allen, Tommy Saunders,
Russ Phillips, Dan Barrett, Chuck Hedges, Jim Galloway.
And among the less famous---Tommy Cain.  By the way--Mister
Wonderful---how is Tommy these days?
