While not born there, I think of Wardell Gray as a Detroit guy. Well, at least until he moved to California.

To the 'worthies' already mentioned, I'd add Clark Terry, Eddie Lockjaw Davis, Lester Young (wait, I think he was mentioned), Ben Webster, Hank Mobley, Bill Evans, Zoot Sims...

Quit going out of town, would ya? Seriously, nice to have you back.

Man, are we having a run on "Armstrong" birthdays or what?

So, what's to stop you from printing and using ten coupons? Get 'em all! Buy, buy, buy! That's what makes the economy go. It's you're duty as an Ah-mer-ee-cun.

...but I'm curious. Is the RRKirk not available elsewhere? I haven't done any looking.

Ah, I know. I could sense it through the shrink wrap. Alas. I've quit.

HBD, UGA.

Happy, happy, happy...uh, where was I going with this - darn old age anyway. Oh yes...birthday.

Shots have saved my life twice. So I tend to see them as - if not positive - as necessary evils.

I spent a couple of weeks in a little ski area north of Barrie. Always wanted to go back in the summer. Enjoy.

Your eye for detail suggests you could be jazzbarrister as easily as jazzshrink Mea culpa.

Three RVGs @$9.99, less five bucks. Seems like it would work out to a deal.

Speaking of which, I trust you're not going to miss the San Jose Fest this year. Next weekend! As for me, you won't catch my in Politics.

On the other hand, I would have dug listening to the Kirk on the plane too.

There's an elephant...er...element of truth to that. Today, however, I was primarily book shopping - Dusty and JRM are both pretty good for that - as I've a long flight tomorrow.

I actually stood in Dusty Groove today, with the Roland Kirk, LIVE, UNISSUED MATERIAL, 1964 CD in my hand - several times, in fact. It was a severe test of my pledge not to buy any more CDs (or tapes or LPs or SACDs...) And yes, I resisted the temptation. Then I went to Jazz Record Mart. And Reckless and Tower and 2nd Hand and...

I like AllMusic, but I did get a chuckle from this close-but-not-quite photo. Frankly, not that many pictures of WG around, so perhaps it doesn't surprise me that much.

Anyone notice anything odd about this picture of Wardell?

Just 10%, but relatively unrestricted - apparently good on sale items, box sets, books... Through 31 July. http://f.chtah.com/i/9/276579820/JuneChica...FTOKEN=39986089
