You are welcome Bob. Jack's music knocks my socks off too. I'm trying to
find out where that documentary is going to play so I can see it. Or maybe
I'll buy the DVD if it doesn't show locally in Philly.

Got a kick out of seeing Frishberg again. I played with him in NYC a few
times in the 1950s/60s just before he left for the land of milk & honey. He
was a skinny kid with a full head of hair back then and a marvelous
Dixieland and Straight Ahead Jazz pianist. Looks like we both got old. I
think Jack Sheldon is the guy who talked him into singing.

Cheers,
