[Dixielandjazz] Used to be about mouldy fig newtons

[Harry Callaghan]

Al:

I wish I could give you an answer, but I don't even think I could venture a
guess.

I have often said that if one was to listen to the music emitting from my
residence, they would think it occupied by Sybil, the one with the (13)
different personalities.

One day I can be into Sinatra, Bennett,etc., the next Waylon, Willie &
Merle, another day Pavarotti, Fleming, and then Condon, Scobey,etc..   No
predicting from one day to the next, just how the feeling hits me when I
arise between 4 & 5am each day.

I should also mention that I beleive that one of the most beautiful voices
that God ever bestowed upon one of his creatures was that of the "little
sparrow" ,Edith Piaf......proof positive that you don't have to understand
the language to appreciate the marvelous talent..

Maybe I should be like James Kirk and start a "Captain's logbook"
