Here is an old photo of me with
my good friend Ella Fitzgerald.
She was asking me for a few pointers on how
she might improve on her singing style.* |
Yet another old photo,
but with my good friend Louis Armstrong*
who is responding to
a really good joke...the fact that I showed up to a black-tie affair in
a blue nylon rain coat! |
Last, but not least...here is my oldest "friend photo"
with Glenn Miller. I had just told him that I thought
"In The Mood" was a catchy name for a song.* |

* Just in case you
could not tell, which I doubt, the above "friend photos" were taken in
New York City at
the Madame Tussaud's Wax Museum.... the celebrities are wax, I was
