Lazaro Vega Posted June 28, 2006 Report Share Posted June 28, 2006 Wilbur Ware's son, Bernard, called the radio station and said he was listening. His friend, trombonist Dr. John Hair, hipped him to the program. Wilbur Ware, apparently, lived in Grand Rapids at one time, playing at the Crispus Atticks (sp) in 1939 with show drummer Benny Carew's band, which also included Wardell Gray. So Bernard grew up there. He now lives in Las Vegas but was home for a time. Thankfully Nessa brought over that Johnny Griffin Sextet session for that incredible version of "Woody N You" which we played shortly after Bernard Ware called.
