Steve, an awarding heart-warming story about the Hawk. Cheers.

Hawk and Louis ~ the problem with any musician, of any kind, would be measuring up to Louis.  Satch seemed to do it all with ease, playing, singing, entertaining, even acting (often stealing the show too). Considering his upbringing and background he managed all this without too many gripes.

Of interest to you, and others too we hope ~ the nearest official recording dates Hawk made regarding your gig date with him find below.

The Hawk Relaxes (Moodville/Prestige) Feb 61

Good Old Broadway (Moodville/Prestige) Jan 62

The film After Hours with Eldridge may have been around then too.
