Blade, I saved that copy of Cycle world too!

JayD, I'm just glad they made it available on-line :)

And the "Burning for Buddy" album they make reference to; BUY IT!!!
The best drummers on this planet take turns playing Big Band tunes as a tribute Buddy Rich. Plus, the bass player is a local; Chuck Bergeron of Baton Rouge, LA. I had the privilege of playing under Lee Fortier in the Broadmoor High Jazz Ensemble with Chuck, and he always said he wanted to make the "Big Time".
Well, I'd say he made it! :cool:
