robertoart Posted June 29, 2012 Report Posted June 29, 2012 no.... You might find it interesting, because the documentary maker does not have any archival footage or info to use, so instead it focuses on oral history and connecting with those still alive that new CC. It's an incredibly grass roots approach, you would like it I'm sure. Quote

Kevin Bresnahan Posted July 2, 2012 Report Posted July 2, 2012 THIS IS THE ONLY PUBLIC MEMORIAL TO HANK Perhaps not! "Having Hank the kitty ready to greet you in the lobby"... clearly, a Jazz fan wrote that skit! Quote

Fer Urbina Posted July 3, 2012 Report Posted July 3, 2012 Have you seen this? In the documentary they revisit Charlie Christian's home town and honour him with a graveside ceremony. If you have a lot of spare time or have lost the will to live, you can visit the Charlie Christian Yahoo list and read the long-winded and non-conclusive argument as to where is Christian really buried. At your own peril. F Quote
chewy-chew-chew-bean-benitez Posted July 4, 2012 Author Report Posted July 4, 2012 is there debate over it? Quote
