Yes, that old. I'm HAPPY to be that old!

Interviewer: "So Maurice, how does it feel to be 80?"

Chevalier: "Great, when you consider the alternative!"

Right, the alternative (tell me about it, I'm learning too much about it) sucks.

And I just liek the age I am and the way that my life is set up partly as a result. In six weeks I can tell my employers to shove it if I feel like it at any time, and retire, and do something else. The last few years I've had more money than I ever have in my life even though I've been shelling out more money than ever before in my life. And a lot of "urgencies" have left me. I can contemplate my moves or nonmoves, not hurl through scenarios and situations.

And I even dress, look and act better than I did ever before!

Win win. . .I hope to keep enjoying it some time longer.

It's a very interesting cd this one, worth seeking out. If I see any leads I'll pass them along.

Wow. . . I guess I'd never seen the original cover before!

Neither have I.

As I am listening to my 80s reissue LP of this record on French RCA with its somewhat nondescript cover (though there have been lots worse) I'm really wondering why these companies could not have used the original artwork for their reissues to add a little respect for the original production (like the Japanese have beein doing for such a long time). ;)

Oddly enough I would think that in the seventies they felt these covers would not sell because the people "dressed funny."

And now we look at people in the seventies and think. . .boy they dressed funny!

Hell, I look at people in the 90s and think that! :lol:

I look in the mirror and think that. :unsure:

All this talk about how old we were when this album was recorded. Let's be happy that Hank Jones himself is still around and doing gigs, no less!

Yes indeed....the recent pair (on Eighty-Eight's) of live Birdland recordings are excellent.

Glad to see those Eighty-Eight's mentioned.

They are great.
