&lt;P&gt;Saints preserve us!&amp;nbsp; The English praising a German fellow.&amp;nbsp; Would Margaret Thatcher approve?&amp;nbsp; I liked her.&amp;nbsp; She said one has to watch those German fellows or they'll&amp;nbsp; try and rule the world through the Euro dollar.&amp;nbsp; Guess that's why the English stayed with pounds.&amp;nbsp; How come Germany doesn't fly the flag for Bix on his birthday?&amp;nbsp; How come England, Italy, Sweden, France, etc.&amp;nbsp; get it straight?&amp;nbsp; Ah, the vagaries of life.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;

&lt;DIV&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;&amp;gt;Well, it got a mention in the Newcastle upon Tyne Evening Chronicle, 
&lt;DIV&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;&amp;gt;here in England! We are commemorating the event (sadly, one month 
&lt;DIV&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;&amp;gt;late, but that's the way it goes) with a Bix concert on April 4th, 
&lt;DIV&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;&amp;gt;featuring Gordon Whitworth's fine Bix Tribute Band: there will be a 
&lt;DIV&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;&amp;gt;cake with 100 candles....well, ten maybe..... and a mass singing of 
&lt;DIV&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;&amp;gt;Happy Birthday To You. 
&lt;DIV&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;&amp;gt; 
&lt;DIV&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;&amp;gt;Mike D.

&lt;DIV&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;&amp;gt;&amp;gt; 
&lt;DIV&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;&amp;gt;&amp;gt;Hi Jim: 
&lt;DIV&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;&amp;gt;&amp;gt; I copied the following off of Albert's site. Closer to home, 
&lt;DIV&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;&amp;gt;&amp;gt;neither our local Times, Dispatch or Argus, mentioned Bix's 
&lt;DIV&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;&amp;gt;&amp;gt;birthday in their March 10th editions. 
&lt;DIV&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;&amp;gt;&amp;gt;Rich 
&lt;DIV&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;&amp;gt;&amp;gt; 
&lt;DIV&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;&amp;gt;&amp;gt;Shame On Sie 
&lt;DIV&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;&amp;gt;&amp;gt;by Albert Haim 
&lt;DIV&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;&amp;gt;&amp;gt;Out of curiosity I looked up the web editions of three prestigious 
&lt;DIV&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;&amp;gt;&amp;gt;newspapers -New York Times, Washington Post, Chicago Tribune- for 
&lt;DIV&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;&amp;gt;&amp;gt;stories about or a mention of Bix's 100th birthday. Nothing!! Did 
&lt;DIV&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;&amp;gt;&amp;gt;the paper editions carry any item about Bix around March 10? 
&lt;DIV&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;&amp;gt;&amp;gt;Phil Schaap was right. Among all the jazz giants, Bix's centenary 
&lt;DIV&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;&amp;gt;&amp;gt;appears to be the one that has had the least amount of coverage. 
&lt;DIV&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;&amp;gt;&amp;gt;Not even a notice of Bix's 100th birthday in the three 
&lt;DIV&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;&amp;gt;&amp;gt;above-mentioned newspapers? 
&lt;DIV&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;&amp;gt;&amp;gt; 
&lt;DIV&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;&amp;gt;&amp;gt;Albert 
&lt;DIV&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;&amp;gt;&amp;gt; 
&lt;DIV&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;&amp;gt;&amp;gt; 
&lt;DIV&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;&amp;gt;&amp;gt;Posted on Mar 17, 2003, 7:41 AM 
&lt;DIV&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;&amp;gt;&amp;gt; 
&lt;DIV&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;&amp;gt;&amp;gt; 
&lt;DIV&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;&amp;gt;&amp;gt;
