Thanks to all for listening and the kind words! Dreamer, Cannonball Adderley came and did a clinic with my college band (70's) -- he has an obscure ballads album out which in part led me to decide to major in music. His ballads album has all lush tunes with strings. Another player whose ballads I love is James Moody.

I'll write some more tonight as I am on an airplane typing on my phone. Another amazing technology.

Capt Russ - Wow! Thanks for giving Jamie a listen!! I am very honored and grateful for his taking the time and listening!!Thanks again to all for listening and your comments!
