RE: [VFB] What do you tie to,??

GREAT idea for a new thread Jerry. Hawkins, Young, Hodges, BUT OFcourse. 
BTW, you hear that new release (not newly recorded) by Chet Baker? Boy i got 
Chet Baker stories for you some time, lol. Did a gig in Spain once.......was 
a triple bill, we (the Messengers) headlined (played last), the Tete 
Montillue Quartet (Spain's all-time best Jazz Pianist) played first, and 
B.B. was in between. Was really cool backstage, George Coleman who was 
playing with Tete, and who was with B.B. years before that, was telling 
stories about his days with B.B. It was so cool, he was still at it the next 
day on the bus to the airport. I had already wored with Tete in my Keystone 
Korner days, so we got along great. And of course the rest of his quartet 
were regular day in day out friends, David Williams bass, and Billy Higgines 
drums. That was the only time i ever got to meet B.B. what a treat. He was 
just like all the Giants always are........extremely gracious and inviting 
and warm and welcoming. "Something Else." Which is by btw.......ONE of my 
ALL-TIME favorite albums. Cannonball Adderly's first record date as a 
leader. Miles, Bu', Sam Jones, Hank Jones round it out. "Something Else." 
REDICKALUS! mark.....
