acman 3 + Frogman ,thanks so much for the Shadow Wilson stuff .
His light touch was a perfect contrast to Sonny’s power.
pjw , I did a bad by no mention of Laurie Pepper . I have no doubt that if everyone had such true love and kept the " in sickness and in health" " vow the way they both did the world would be a much better place.
. Families are the essence of humanity not the I must be this and that is pounded in your head today .
Thanks frogman , I get that once in a while .I operate on what the greatest Christian Theologian , St . Augustine said .
" Humility is having an accurate assessment of your self "
In jazz I have not heard as much as the others here. A fact .
And though I like jazz very much I don’t have the deep love of same
others do . A fact .
What I do have is what anyone who has been to several thousands of classical concerts and listened almost every day to Bach for almost every day for 50 years has.
The ability to know , within my limits , any genre, to hear if a piece is good, bad or indifferent in about 30 seconds . Have to listen for all of it , often more than once, to find if it is Great .
Anyone who has done this can do what I do, perhaps a little less , a little more .
Since I did not create myself , the music, , the air I breathe and play anything but my stereo, etc , etc, etc , no credit whatsoever resides in me , a sinner, and knowing what I know does not make better than any other human being .I can ONLY express my gratitude to the one who did create me and let me listen to all I have ,
In your case , takes one to know one , but I am not in your class which is quite unique . A fact.
I always remember what my Scottish grandmother told me when I was about 10 . "Never forget that every person you will ever meet knows how to do something better than you. "
