BeBop...With that nickname you gotta love Dizzy and Bird, don't ya?...I'm happy to be here.

Dizzy and Bird might be considered a centerpoint, but my love spreads backward and forward from there - virtually a whole century's worth!

Ain't that what we all truly feel somehow? Great to hear that, man. Hearts get bigger that way.

Hello and welcome from Philly!  You know, Billie Holiday was born in Philly, and there's a historical marker commemorating the house in Center City Philly where she often stayed..

Ain's that neat? :) I think she would be very much impressed and even thrilled 'bout that. She's lookin' down from up above and sayin' "Look at that...I was born there, and they care...".

I once knew a drummer from Philly named Byron Landham. He was playin' with Uri Caine at the time. Good guy, and better musician. Tell Philly I said hi, baby!

:) Glad to know you know him. We had a very long conversation that night, and I always thought of him as a great, great guy and a fine drummer. I really like that cd he made with his brother, "At last".
