Heh, why else is it called "A Rosy Glow"?

Or a "Blue glow" from a tube amp playing Duke Ellington:-)

Now you're talking. I spent a marvellous evening last night playing a few
albums of Charlie Parker (I am a VERY big fan - more than 50 LP's & the same
number of CD's).

It was truly awsome to hear the recordings from his heyday back in the late
40's & early 50's, especially one rather noisy recorded album called
'Charkie Parker Live at St. Nicks'. But it didn't alter the quality of his
playing, which was simply amazing - effortless blowing & improvisation of
the highest order. I was in Seventh Heaven. He truly was 'The Master' and
even guys like John Coltrane, Stan Getz, Sony Rollins & Sonny Stitt were
just wannabe's when compared to Bird.

As the song says...."Oh what a night', but alas, no port or red wine . Those
days are over for me, but I did manage a smmall tipple of JW's Blue Label on
ice. Ahhhhhhhh....smooth as a baby's bottom :-).
