@YETI BOB: I have a lot of respect for people who can conceptualize something live and actually get it done. People like Parker and Bill Frisell, employing loopers and freeze pedals and they weave together stuff in real time. Pretty amazing stuff. I try that but completely suck at it, though I admit I don't spend enough time with it.

Years ago, I got a chance to meet Tony Bennet. I asked him, "what was the first record that you couldn't get enough of?". He paused and thought about it and responded, "I think it was Mel Torme and the Meltones". As soon as I could, I ran across the street and bought one of his early records.

Incorrigible '60s-'70s bklyn kids/youngsters had their own version of "Mrs. Lucy Had a Baby":
Mrs. Lucy Had a Baby
She named him Tiny Tim
She put him in the bathtub
to see if he could swim..

He swam to the bottom
He swam to the top ..
MRS Lucy got excited so
she pulled him by his COCK-Tail
Ginger Ale 5c a glass and if ya do
not like it, shove it up yer A--..."

Rev Rabbit - Classic Neil. I think Richard Thompson did very much the same when they asked him to do the '1,000 Years of Popular Music' album. They were expecting him to pretty much do classics from the 1950s onward, but he decided to take it all the way back to Purcell. Would love to have been a fly on the wall at the meeting at which those masters changed hands...
