He's got an appearance scheduled with the Plano Symphony Orchestra coming up...he's 88 now, can't be too much of this left... He used to be omnipresent for these type things around here, the light classics/pops things, and I never bothered, because...um, yeah. But, last of his breed, perhaps? Might be worth going as a "pop culture" moment as anything else? That's the same reason I went to see Sinatra, but Sinatra got the last laugh on that one, he had one of his GREAT nights and I left with goosebumps. Neither looking for nor expecting goosebumps from Doc Severinsen, but if his chops are still good, it might be fun. anybody seen/heard him lately?

Doing some last minute Christmas shopping @ Macy's this evening, walking through the store and all of a sudden I hear Bird playing "White Christmas", the Royal Roost version (well, that would be the only choice, duh), in full, w/KD and all that, and I say to LTB hey, that's Bird, and she says huh, oh, yeah, I guess so and I get a little loud and say no, you guess so, I KNOW so, this is a fact I'm saying here, at which point some old guy looked at me wondering WTF?, so ok, move on from that, but - who'd be getting paid from that? Berlin Inc., Harry Fox, of course, but who owns the Bird recordings now, exactly who would be getting paid on Bird's end for getting the airshot into Macy's? It was on Charlie Parker Records, and then on Savoy once, but...is somebody besides the writers publishers getting some money for this, like, the people who own the rights to the recording itself? Or is that just kinda floaty o'dotey these days?
