Hi Martin!

I have to smile when you list "Kind of Blue." I might have done the same. It was another great record my brother, Liam, loaned to me (probably after he borrowed it from someone else). I once flew from New York to Tokyo sitting next to Bill Evans who, I'm sure you know, was one of the pianists on that recording. Earlier, he had slicked back hair and wore the plain "bop" jazzman clothes of the 1950s. When I met him, he looked like a flower child. Very funny. I thought of it the other day when someone asked when Sonny Terry & Brownie McGhee started wearing hip outfits.

All the best.
