I don't know who is into jazz and the jazz greats, but I just heard that Max Roach one of the last great bebop drummers passed away. I fondly remember lestining to him on my vinyl records along with Diz; Bird, and Mingus on long summer Saturday nights just when I started smoking cigars. I'm smoking an Excalibur in his honor. Don't know if that is what he smoked but that is what I smoked when I first heard him. Had the pleasure of seeing him in concert with Diz before Diz passed away.
"If I paid ten dollars for a cigar, first I'd make love to it, then I'd smoke it."
