Joyeux anniversaire, Michael!

[Michael Weiss]

Thanks guys. We had a great time this weekend at Mezzrow.

A few remarks about the previous posts: Have to say it's a little daunting to realize I'm now the same age (more or less)  as Horace and Griff were in those photos.

The postcard to Chuck: Any (ANY) promotion of CrissCross records in those days didn't happen unless it was generated by the artist. IIRC Mastertakes was a distributor of CC so I wanted to keep Chuck in the loop about radio. I had to buy copies from the CC to send to all radio and print media. My aunt, an art director, helped me design that postcard. Don't think for a minute CC had anything to do with it.

That photo of me and Barry (credit: John Abbot) comes from a concert we played of Monk music at Flushing Town Hall in 1994, with John Ore, Leroy Williams, Kiane Zawadi, Charles Davis and IIRC  Virgil Jones.
