[Tradjazz] Trad Jazz Happenings

[Bruce McNichols]

He Paul,

Thanks for the message.  Yes, Charlie was a good one.

Dunno Ben Bova but Asimov was always one of my favorites.  Not only his Sci 
Fi writing (which I loved) but he was also quite the scientist, and 
philosopher.  I never knew that he liked jazz.

What I have to do, is to dig up some gigs that we can play.  After all, 
that't the best way to "get together."
