Quincy Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 As for the personal aspect, I thought my fellow O members might have grown tired of my self-indulgence. Not a chance mister! It's a magical closet you have. Drawings of ships, old receipts, letters and all the other things you dig up are fun to look at and read over. Thanks.

ValerieB Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 those views from your window are absolutely priceless!! are you near where Max and Abbey used to live? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christiern Posted January 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 Thanks, Valerie. As for Max and Abbey, that was one block down from me. Same building as Charles Tolliver. I think Max's son or grandson lives there now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ValerieB Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 Thanks, Valerie. As for Max and Abbey, that was one block down from me. Same building as Charles Tolliver. I think Max's son or grandson lives there now. wow!! that was a really good guess or some intuition working! one of my favorite memories is meeting Bud Powell in their apartment! he used to take the train from Brooklyn and play their piano as he didn't have one at the time. sad but true. i actually didn't live far from you in the 1960s but sure didn't have that view! speaking of Charles Tolliver, i just saw him at Freddie's funeral in L.A. a bunch of guys flew here from NY. Donald Byrd tried to make it but very unfortunately was stranded at the NY airport. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck Nessa Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 Looking at all these publicity pics reminds me how many of these folks (in person) acted like real jerks and how Duke was always a gentleman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christiern Posted January 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 I wodered about that,Valerie.
