Thanks to all again for your comments.
Dottorjazz, yes it is the magic in the music that is Jazz which captures our souls.
Art, that’s the spirit. As long as you’re enjoying the adventure of collecting, keep going.
Gregory, yes I’m excited again over my new direction.
Hey Brian, thanks for thinking me to be a “cool cat.” And the strength and courage became evident as soon as I realized I was on the right road and going In the right direction.
And Mike, keep on with the guitar book and sending those Jazzy chords out into the universe.
Westfork, I’m progressing in the knowing, I’ve become enthralled with diminished scales.
And thanks to Al for giving me two columns on his web page. An honor, to be sure.
Peace and blessings.

Harvey Pekar did record reviews for Downbeat Magazine in the 60s. His reviews were excellent and usually right on the money. He also wrote many articles for the magazine as well. Oddly enough, in the many interviews I’ve seen with Pekar, his Downbeat work is never discussed.

Hey Lenni
Never thought I’d see Crumb, Pekar and Gurdjieff in the room with Charlie Parker but there you go. Good luck with the horn lessons. You’re surely going in the right direction. And you’ve inspired me to pull out the Mickey Baker jazz guitar book and work my way to lesson three.

Unfortunately I don’t have time right now to read the whole article…. I ‘m too busy diging for Jazz records at the Austin Record Convention.

dear Lenni, Al and readers, music has embraced me my whole life, as an amateur listener before, as an amateur player then, as a passionate listener since many years. I’ve changed cars, homes and wives but never my love for music. music surrounds me when I’m at home, when I work in my office, during travels, when I rest in my holiday home. great you’ve found a new way to be happy, great I didn’t. my secret hope , when I’m gone, is to land where musicians play, no matter if Heaven or Hell, let me be absorbed in the sounds I love for the Eternity.
