Short Notes: A Brief Word on Pianist Willie Metcalf (1930-2004) on His 94th Birthday...

I'm postponing the next episode of the podcast, but wanted to acknowledge the 94th birthday of jazz pianist Willie Metclaf, who I was fortunate enough to know when I lived in New Orleans 20 plus years ago. If you are trying to remember his face, just think of the movie "Ray". He played the old man who taught Ray the piano as a child. (Yeah, now you remember! That's him!)
Happy Birthday, Mr. Metcalf! Thanks for sharing your insights. 

Stay tuned for info on future episodes of the podcast!

Despite what some have said, this music is far from dead.
