Wow!
Nice guy: he told me he was 'bewitched' as a child - bewitched by music, that is
- and I told him that the same thing happened to me when my folks took me to see a certain Sidney Lumet film when I was seven.
Parents and movies... I was 'bewitched' as a child when my dad was supposed to take me to see 'Return of the Jedi' but he took me to see 'Return of the Alien the Deadly Spawn' and my father thought the story was the worst Star Wars film... I like Return of the Alien more than Return of the Jedi... :)
I think it's awesome that you were able to meet such a great Jazz Legend :)
