Brad Posted August 29, 2005 Report Share Posted August 29, 2005 This is about 20 or so minutes too early but Monday is Bird's birthday. There isn't much more to say about one of the three most influential musicians of our music ever to play but suffice it to say that I (and probably many others) wouldn't be fans of this music (or would there even be a music? -- probably yes, but not the way we know it today) but not for this man and his attempts to just play those "pretty notes." Thanks for all those Savoys, Dials, Verves and everything else. What would music be like if you were still playing today? Bird does live!!

A Lark Ascending Posted August 29, 2005 Report Share Posted August 29, 2005 I'll be blowed if I'm going to wish him a Happy Birthday. I've been sending him cards for nearly 50 years and never once has he said thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
