Hi Scott,
Is it to late to discuss your posting of November 4, 2004?

Guy, go for it! In fact, I'll repost it so it is at the top of the blog. It's good to see that you are blogging!
Love Getz's Sweet Rain, a great album as well, Dizzy's Con Alma, has always been a favorite.
I seem to remember that Country Joe and the Fish had a song called Sweet Lorraine that wasn't the old standard.
