sorry to hear Diz is poorly; he was a great influence on me and was the first jazz guitarist I ever saw, back in my Troubadour days, and he introduced me to Denny Wright, another great player. There are so many stories about Diz; like when he offered my girl friend his phone number and a coin for the phone call and promised a ride in his Rolls Royce if she went out with him, not mentioning of course that his Roller was an ancient hearse.
Get better Diz.
