Jerry and Frank, you both were able to put in words some of my
thoughts that I was not able to clearly present. Of course the reason
I rate Joe Pass tops is that he plays the kind of music I love. Probably my second choice is Kenny Burrell. They and may others are
equally fine tecnicians, but to each of us, the one we rate the highest is the one who plays our kind of music. Other names on my list
of favorite musicians would probably not even be on the list of most Mudcatters, but again, I'm 80. My list includes Ella Fitzgerald, Frank
D'Rone, Sinatra, Mel Torme, June Christy, and so on. You get the Idea.
Fun changing thoughts with you guys!!

P.S. We call it jazz!!
