I'm listening to that Maynard Ferguson marathon internet feed right now and getting just a bit misty... (must have something in my eye...) Anyhow, 18MaynardStreet, always great to hear from you. You gotta make it out to the left coast and blow a little Mrs. Pitlack regrets with us for old times sake. Hope you're doing well, bro. And Michael, I passed your message on to my dad. He said he remembered that gig that you referred to. By the way, I think my wife and I along with my mother and father met you at Maynard's last appearance in LA at the Sheraton down by the airport. We came by his hotel room after the show for a bit of a hang, and Sid Bulkin (one of the people responsible for first getting Maynard into Birdland...) stopped by. Man, those guys could spin stories. Maynard was reminiscing a bit about Flo and told a great story about auditioning girl singers back in the day. Wilder had to come in and break up the party!... Good times... Anyways, hope you are doing well. (You mentioned you see my old friend Lin Biviano from time to time, please tell him hi for me...). Remember Maynard and smile...
