First, I'm going to ssssllllloooowwwwlllllyyyy pull the paper tab. As your luscious chocolate body comes into view, I gently pull you toward my lips .... Or was that not what you were looking for? I've never eaten these things, but like any phone sex operator, I can easily act as if I have. ...now I want to take a shower!

.....everywhere I turn.....another guilt trip!

Yours was just the first delivery. I signed you up for the Lump of Coal of the Month club.

....maybe I can use that coal to heat my house this winter!

Have a good one Theo!

I was talking to Benny Golson a couple nights ago and a guy came up and gave Benny a note that said Max was in a nursing home ; didn't hear anymore details. Here's hoping for the best! Mark

....bah....humbug! Thanks for your efforts Dan!

Mike, Sent you a PM regading Jim Neumann. I spoke to him today about having a conversation with you; check your PMs. Mark

I've seen Buddy a few times and as recently as September and I feels his playing is still very good; one of the all time greats on clarinet. I wouldn't miss it! Mark

Thanks, I just tried to reach Jim again but he's with a client. I did leave a detailed voice message with him last night and will hear from him soon. Mark

....me too!

Basically, he put on a turban, changed his name to Jamil Abdullah Al-Amin, shot a sheriff's deputy, and landed in jail for life. Nice!

Mike, How can I link to this? Mark

Thanks AB!

The store behind this photo is a magician from Michigan had seen Golson some time before and thought he would make him this "sax" out of balloons. I was photographing Golson an hour or so before the show playing the piano when this guy came in to present Benny with his art. I asked Benny if I could make a photograph or two, which he was cool with. He also pulled it (balloon sax) out during the performance, which got a big laugh from the crowd! Mark

Ghost, Just got off the phone with the venue; they are attempting to let me photograph but Benny's manager is draggin' his feet. I'll be at the show for sure but we'll see on the photographs. I was invited to sit through an interview someone else is doing with him after the show; should be interesting! Are you going to make it? Mark
