Dear Bob:

Don't you just love it when a guy has been performing longer than you've
been living? <grin>

Wouldn't it be wonderful to hear him with Les Paul, live, before they both
depart this earth? 

There are some great old jazzers around that still swing mightily.

May we all get to that age and achieve their sense of inner peace.

Cheers,
Steve Barbone
