I always felt this photo should have been on an album cover.

I don't think it is Robert Johnson. A forensic artist named Lois Gibson recently identified what she feels is the fourth known image of Delta blues legend Robert Johnson. But several musicologists aren't so sure. Only two images are universally agreed to depict Johnson, who died in 1938 at age 27. However, in 2008, Gibson (the forensic artist, not the guitar maker) said a photo of a man holding a guitar and standing with a friend was, in fact, Johnson. The guardians of his estate agreed, but many music commentators disputed the claim. That was the third photo. Now, it seems, Gibson has come across a fourth photo of Johnson.

Happy belated Birthday Gheorge.

Anyone have this one? How is the sound on this recording?

Of course. Kenny loves to play Duke's music. I saw Kenny once where the band played only Duke.

What's the tune Kenny's playing? I know this tune but can't recall the title.

Here's Kenny from earlier this year. Video Video is not embedding.

Didn't Paul Motion die in 2011?

There are two that come to mind that made major contributions to music. As always there seems to be many that have left us throughout this year. Phil Woods Ornette Coleman

Happy Birthday.

Happy Birthday.
