Larry Kart Posted May 17, 2018 Report Posted May 17, 2018 5 hours ago, Clunky said: Happy Birthday.................we need another book btw I have one in mind but very vaguely in mind. If it happens, it will be a series of real-life tales, with some names altered (and some circumstances might need to be slightly disguised) -- most of them (i.e. the tales) about how musicians and non-musicians/fans relate to the music and to each other, all of the tales taking off from things I witnessed/participated in. Some of the tales will be amusing, I hope, others on the sad and/or strange side. Don't know if I have enough material (some of it has to do with musicians we all know -- e.g. Thad Jones, Coleman Hawkins -- some with musicians or fans no one or almost no one knows. And while I'm pretty certain I can deal with writing about things that might be embarrassing to myself, I'm not at all sure how, in a few cases, to deal with my wish not to embarrass more or less innocent others and still leave enough meat on the bone. If, say, Stanley Crouch is a target in passing, OK, but I don't want to make a friend who goes back to junior-high days feel bad, even though the pieces of his behavior that I have in mind are at the center of one of the better, more peculiar and, I think, more revealing tales I want to tell.

JSngry Posted May 16, 2019 Author Report Posted May 16, 2019 Again? What's your hurry? Really, Larry. Save some for the rest of us! Quote
ghost of miles Posted May 16, 2020 Report Posted May 16, 2020 Was just now perusing the daily email of jazz birthdays that a listserv member sends out each morning, and there you were—not far below Woody Herman. Happy birthday, with much appreciation as always for your commentary here and your writings elsewhere. Quote
