I think that's one of my fave versions of "Lady" evah.<BR/><BR/>I've played "Pocket" about 50X now -- Geez, I love that song. I remember seeing Basie on TV in that era, and I always loved his little smiley face (not to mention his music).

Guess the lead photo didn't lie. Very groovy song by Basie guitarist (and Gretsch slinger) Freddie Green. Always makes me think of you, incidentally.Trombonologyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04780935010435443785noreply@blogger.com
