I still have my album of Cats vs. Chicks, having bought it after  
hearing pianist Beryl Booker and her quartet in NYC in the early  
1950s. Those who listen to the clips might be surprised just how good  
the Chicks are even if the music is not YKOM.

Bill H, you old one eyed mate, how did you like the album?

Cheers,
