Re: NYC metro area fan of

Thanks, but I'm well aware of WKCR and have
attended the annual Charlie Parker Jazz Festival in
Thompkins Square Park(about a stone's throw from Bird's and
Chan's residence on Ave.B). I hope you get the
opportunity to check it out for yourself! Hey, have you ever
watched Gary Giddins'DVD on Bird? I watched it tonight
and thought it was pretty good.
