By the way Wiz, I first saw Kenny G when he was just getting started. I was living in the Washington, D.C. area and got to see him in a little jazz club called "Blues Alley" in the Georgetown part of D.C. The place only holds about 75 people so I was no more than about 10 feet from the stage. It was great. And what was also great was we got there early and was having a drink at the bar and the place was empty except for one other patron that I struck up a conversation with. That patron was Ramsey Lewis! He told me he just stopped in to see what all the fuss was about with this "new white boy who plays the sax". I told him some of us white boys really like jazz music even if we cant' dance very well and he laughed.

It was after. He had just had his first album and struck out on his own. Being able to see him in such a small venue made a big difference. I saw Ramsey Lewis perform there twice, Joe Sample twice and Pieces of a Dream a couple of times, also.

now this is giving your age away -----

I dated Englebert Humperdink -- then Jerry Dorsey,
when I lived in Blackpool. ------
I worked as a " Bunny " at the Lemon Tree night club / Casino

and Joe Cocker, when he was starting out in Sheffield,
with his group, The Blue Men ------
Joe Cocker and The Blue Men were so hot back then,
they got billed with The Rolling Stones ----

hows that for giving away your ages -------
