The Album by Claudia (yes, it was originally on Vinyl. "Goodbye to Love" features Barney Kessel, "Red" Mitchell & Benny Carter, to name a few. My mgr at the time, Ramey Idriss deserves quite a bit of credit & to let me go he asked for a monetary sum which I think he deserved cause he wrote 2 of the songs, played guitar (and very well) & did some engineeering.  His wife got me going & pitched me to the guy who started Liberty Records. Of course, it was downhill from there because the distributor didn't like anybody nor Wallach's Music City on Hwd & Vine. But that's show business. More about CT's Final CD in the works & more stories from CT's Essays. Hope all have happy holidays, merry xmas, etc. love & kisses. Shout out to the Romantic novel industry. You are exciting, brash & totally enjoyable.

One of my 1st short stories about a friend of mine. Situations are ficticious but the

the characters are based on real jazz & storytellers.

The cost of the CD featuring the Jamesj Polk Trio (from Austin, TX) along with the duo is  $9.99 or free with the purchase of our memoir, "IC2 Adventures" (only author printed copies) contain 10 pages of great photographs by ITT. (Ira T Thomas, RIP)

 

 

Norma & her men. She lectures here in Las Vegas on the Lindy Hop, swing dancing & all things during

the Harlem Rennaisance. She can be reached through  the LV Library association.  She's now in her 70's & is an official representative of this genre. She's available for lectures,and classes. I've noticed that classes in swing dancing have sprouted up all over the US. Norma is the original; check her out.

I'm planning to offer Master classes on the use of Phonetic Rock in 2018 depending on physical health.and appeal. I'm unable to find a book house that will a let photographs stand as is. Most have passed away. and their 2nd request is a substantial amount of $ paid up front by authors in case of recalls (venue selling less books than originally thought.)

City Life got it right! But has been replaced by the RJ's Weekly! The Sunday by the Las Vegas Sun won 3 awards more than the Weekly. I can't imagine the two mags being so close in the voting as I believe the Sunday is the better publication with more news you can use. Now the City Life is no more! So it's the Weekly vs the Sunday.

 

Discussed later as part of CT's Essays, this attractive gentleman, my late Step-Brother was quite a person. Dapper, intelligent & hard working, he succumed to Alzeimers in 2007.( RIP), gentle giant, Homer! Also now passed (RIP) is his younger brother, Conley. Both gentle giants who used to keep 
 my dad in line. (smile) and help him entertain members of the family who came to visit. ie. me his dtr, and  Harry Toliver,  who was attending SD State, and the McGee sons, from El Centro. Their dad was once the Mayor. I came to visit at least 2 times a year; we had great fun: Rudy, Trudye & Eunice & I would go to movies & then go to the 'stand' (R,T&E's grandparents' eaterie) & feast on Chili, hot dogs, etc. great fun.
