It made me want to put my sax away forever.wdefthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17255181955509832568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921382.post-79020851696371385132007-11-18T18:34:00.000-05:002007-11-18T18:34:00.000-05:00When I am blue, mood or illness, I listen to some ...When I am blue, mood or illness, I listen to some Count Basie. His light touch on the piano and the way everyone with him swings just makes me happier. Fats Waller does that too.<BR/><BR/>Good for the soul.<BR/><BR/>TreyTMinkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07221261635305430323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921382.post-80320099621422578002007-11-18T15:06:00.000-05:002007-11-18T15:06:00.000-05:00I have only one word for this: Swingin'!I have only one word for this: Swingin'!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921382.post-90799018205267730382007-11-18T14:05:00.000-05:002007-11-18T14:05:00.000-05:00This IS good medicine.This IS good medicine.B Northcuthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00013673846217501512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921382.post-69491169933728757662007-11-18T14:00:00.000-05:002007-11-18T14:00:00.000-05:00Thanls for this, it really is superb.

So, another great local drummer agreed to sit in--with no practices. It was really fun to be picked up off the ground by someone else! (And of course, my fiddle player, <A HREF="http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=124462573" REL="nofollow">Jim,</A> and bass player, <A HREF="http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=23698955" REL="nofollow">Frank,</A> who are multi-talented professionals, said after the gig, "It's great to play with a real drummer!")<BR/><BR/>Sorry you're not feeling well, steve. I look forward to you lindy-hopping me someday!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
