Hi Marek,

"Goodness gracious!  Somebody really wants to play  "Big Boy" not in
the context of a Bix tribute!  Are we facing another revival?"
====================================
The boy is 14 years old and keeps discovering music
such as The Whiteman Band, Bix, Art Tatum and many
others and it blows my mind. His playing ability has gone from
average to extraordinary in the past few months.
Thanks to Phil Wilking he now has a copy of "Big Boy".
He really loves the music of the 20's and 30's.
I guess I should mention that he is a piano student.

Cheers,
