Which I don't suppose panned out. He did, however, provide several
paintings for your (i.e. The Whistlebinkies) album covers; what was the
arrangement? Did he get a fee? A free LP?

I've got a copy of that cassette, I think. Is that the one with his son
playing half the tracks? I've also got the Topic album, but I must
admit to having a little trouble with his style. There's no doubt he
was a great and well-respected player, but his style is so mannered
and, perhaps, of its time that I don't get a lot of fun out of
listening to it. Sacrilege? I'd love to hear your expanded opinion.
