Para Todos Meus Amigos Em Torno do Mundo
The records are not yet on the shelves, not yet touched by the mild boredom of order. I cannot march up and down their ranks to pass them in review before a friendly audience. You need not fear any of that. Instead, I must ask you to join me in the disorder of vinyl crates that have been wrenched open, the air saturated with the dust of wood, the floor covered with torn open cardboard mailers, to join me among piles of LP's and 7" singles that are seeing daylight again after what might be many years of darkness, so that you may be ready to share with me a bit of the mood - it is certainly not an elegiac mood but, rather, one of anticipation - which these records arouse in a genuine Groove Collector. (adapted from Walter Benjamin's essay on collecting)

As an Old House Mate with Byron the summer of 1999 @ Amanda's Inn in the Pocono Mts. PA. And I jammed with him all the time he and his Father and at that time he was 93 yrs young both could play some really good straight up Bebop we had a blast that summer Really do miss Byron taught me a lot about the musical landscape and how to make it work for you.He has played with John Coltrane J.J.Johnson Miles Davis and so many more and as side man you could never go wrong with having Byron at your side.
Rick an Old Hippie who plays Jazz
but not as much these days as before....................
Hi K G
Glad to see your back with high quality fare as usual.
Keep em coming mate.

I was quite surprised (and flattered) when Byron emailed me back in Sep '07. He's living in France I believe..
And, yep, OldHippieRick, he sent me a photo of himself palying alongside Coltrane a year before his sad passing.
This all came about when he spotted that my radio show played a track from the LP you have pictured here. He was quite surprised and encouraged that people were still listening to his music.
I believe he is filming all of his performances which he sells alongside his new CDs...if you are interested I'm sure i can give you some details...
Keep up the great work on this site!! Take care, Raggy
Hey Raggy,
Good to hear from you again mate, and yes interested in whatever you can provide.
I'm loving your shows by the way, just can't enough of it. Wish I could do the same sometime.
Thanks again
KG
