PoppaGator, et al:

Thanks for that piece. I'm nearing 70 and I still remember the first time I heard an old Armstrong recording on my grandfather's hand-crank Victrola in his house in Beaumont, TX. It was probably around 1946. I also fell in love with the trombone when I heard Jack Teagarden for the first time. I've seen a lot of great jazz of the later period, from Oscar Peterson to Cannonball Adderley to Howard Rumsey's All Stars. I'm still partial to the old stuff. Nothing gets my feet moving quite like it.

I hope you all are recovering and that the music recovers with you, if it ever needed to.
