Hi Shrdlu,
You reminded me of when I was 15 and went to NY for two weeks (1963). I went out with an old friend of my mother's who lived in the same apartment building that the Jones brothers, Pepper Addams, McCoy Tyner, Donald Byrd, etc. lived in. When she told me this I was so excited! We went to each of their rooms for me to meet them! NOBODY WAS HOME!
