This morning I just opened my ears for his playing at the recording with Chet Baker on April 10 1979 in Holland as to hear on Blue Room. Thanks.

This man was like a father to me , here in Detroit Michigan. My grandma owned a four family flat , I lived down stairs with my parents and siblings, he lived upstairs. He use to take me to his band rehearsals, I was probably 7 or 8 . He use to cook dinner for me. One day he sent me a letter saying he had to leave, I cried that whole day , he sent me some beautiful gifts. And that was the last time I heard from him. I wondered through the years what happened to him, I loved him like he was my dad. I have a lot of fond memories of him as I was growing up! I still to this day love the memories of him. No one has ever affected my life like he did!
