Dean,

we have a saying here in North Carolina: "DAYum!"

OK, so that's not a saying... it's more of an exclamation... but I'm sayin' it anyway!

I wish you lived around here, because if you did I'd be pestering all the time for us to form a band and hit the vineyard jazz circuit. But, you don't. Bummer.

As always, I enjoy your interpretations of both classic jazz numbers as well as songs like Sunny that worked in the realm of pop. If it is true that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery (and I think it *IS* true) you should be flattered to know that your playing never fails to excite my musical sensibilities in the direction of Jazz. Stay tuned to a music forum near you. You may get to hear some alarmingly inept attempts at jazz that have exactly the opposite effect on everyone else's music sensibilities.

As always, I bow to the master.. to Sensei... to the great teacher

Thanks for keeping us in the loop!
