For a few months we had a violin maker stay with us, also a long story. When we came home from work every day, beautiful violin music would be wafting from our apartment. Great story, Toni!

(Long story). He brought with him about 1500 albums. Bob looked them over and declared that there were about 5% that he was interested in. By the time he got done recording them (onto cassettes), he decided that there was about 5% that DIDN'T interest him. Coltrane was certainly one of the giants in that collection. Milt Jackson is in there as well, but not so much with the MJQ as in his own right, playing with some fine players. One of the delights of his transcribing all of that music was the musical education he got along the way.
