Don Brown Posted November 22, 2010 Report Share Posted November 22, 2010 Thank you all for your good wishes. It's a shocker to look at a calendar and realize I just turned 78. But the good side of that is that being so ancient I had the opportunity of seeing and hearing people live like Coleman Hawkins, Lester Young, Bird and Diz, Oscar Pettiford, Lady Day, Ben Webster, Clifford Brown, Ellington and Basie, Woody Herman, Henry Red Allen, Pee Wee Russell, Bud Powell, Mingus, Johnny Hodges with his own little band, Al and Zoot, Jimmy Rushing, Big Joe Turner, Art Tatum, Meade Lux Lewis and Pete Johnson, Mary Lou Williams, Julius Watkins, Buck Clayton, Roy Eldridge, Charlie Shavers, Kenny Dorham, Lennie Tristano with Konitz and Warne Marsh, Gerry Mulligan, Paul Desmond, the MJQ, Monk, Miles, Eric Dolphy, Earl Hines, Teddy Wilson, Erroll Garner, and countless other giants who are no longer with us. Thinking along those lines makes being old seem worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thinking along those lines makes being old seem worth it. Good attitude, Don... Makes 78 sound better than 45, and more than twice as good as 33-and-a-third! Happy Birthday (again)!
