****How does a discussion of tenor players get so far off the point?****

Well, why don't you grab the bull by the horns (pun intended) and get it back on point; using your criteria? Then we'll see where it takes us. Who are your greatest tenors and why?
I'll apologize for taking the thread off course. When discussing music and
musicians I can get very passionate and a bit carried away. When someone
like Frogman joins the fray I just have to respond to the many interesting
and fine comments he has to offer. There's so much to be said about these
types of topics that it's easy to go astray. The music talk is more fun than
the equipment discussions.

Frogman! This is the first time I've had to correct you on anything, and I wouldn't now; but, "Another fascinating account is that Bird died in his hospital bed while watching the Dorsey Brother's TV show." Where did you get that from?

- Parker died on March 12, 1955 in the suite of his friend and patron Baroness Pannonica de Koenigswarter at the Stanhope Hotel in New York.

Case closed

Enjoy the music.
