Today a jazz musician friend of Fred's friend Cotton came all the way from Wheaton, Md. to give Fred a concert in his hospital room. She has played jam sessions many times at our house over the summer when Cotton comes to stay with Fred and I am in Saratoga. Sometimes she played the melody, and sometimes, when I knew the tune, I'd sing the melody, and she would play the bass part. It was fun, and Fred even sang along on Bye Bye Blackbird!

what a special treat to have a stand-up bass concert in your own room, and what a wonderful friend to lug that around! I wish you'd recorded it.
