Jan and Ric Mancuso gave me David Hajdu's fine bio
Lush Life - A Biography of Billy Strayhorn.
Besides a great read, it inspired Wednesday's show,
which includes a sampler of his music from 2:30 to 3:30
on KBOO-FM 90.7 on Jazz In The Afternoon.
 
   More friends, participants in the always fun series of
"D.J. Brunches" at Portland's Buffalo Gap, have gifted me
some of the incomparable music to be played then.
 
   My heartfelt thanks to all.
 
   Bassist Ed Bennett will be my guest at 3:30
after the jazz calendar, followed by jazz current events
including his own.
