Fantastic read! Love that The Professor has taken up piano to be better able to do his work. There’s a lesson in there for all of us.

For those with a need to know, that’s me on the left at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage festival, circa 1989. The one who is not me is a member of the Golden Eagles mardi gras band, a great New Orleans funk aggregation.
