He might have been - but she said she admired Cora Calhoun (a.k.a.
Lovie Austin), and decided to be like her when she saw Calhoun playing
the piano and leading a band.  Mary Lou Williams was also impressed by
Ms. Calhoun's composing and arranging skills.

Other thawn that, I have no quarel with the rest of your letter.
Cheers
