Happy birthday and thank you for the work - I've been enriched.

Sometimes the documentary makes are the "big dogs". I received a call from Ken Burns production office asking for permission to use something in the jazz series they did. I was simply told if I didn't sign "for free" they'd just cut it out.
Earl Hines "Quintessential Recording Session" on Halcyon 101/Chiaroscuro 101. This should be on cd. Earl at the top of his game in 1970, revisiting his 1928 milestones. It don't get much better.
I probably have that interview somewhere in the basement but want to recommend/warn about the amazing Bowie interview in the AEC book sold on their website. If you knew Lester you would read the piece very differently than a "newbie" would interpret it. For me, Lester's interview repays the cost of the book.
Is this website error a human disaster?
What about Pakistan, the "south coast" hurricanes, wildfires in the west, global warming, terrorist attacks in the Russian south, Paris Hilton cancelled!
