on the cork board there is a flyer for Ornette Coleman. My Y.S. is named after him. Yes a hard handle to live up to but he does just fine!

I was putting together the stuff for a housing development opening, while working for Cherry Lane Studios.

Jerry Garcia played guitar on three tracks from Coleman's Virgin Beauty (1988): "Three Wishes," "Singing In The Shower," and "Desert Players." Coleman joined the Grateful Dead on stage twice in 1993 playing the band's "The Other One," "Wharf Rat," "Stella Blue," and covering Bobby Bland's "Turn On Your Lovelight," among others.^[13] Another unexpected association was with guitarist Pat Metheny, with whom Coleman recorded Song X (1985); though released under Metheny's name, Coleman was essentially co-leader (contributing all the compositions).

I am having a great time listening to music on Youtube. Chillin before the wedding. Ornette Coleman 's music is not everyone's taste because it is so unruly and even jarring, but it is mine. When the kids dad put it on the turntable guests would say, "Oh, it's the F*** off music, time to leave!" and they would, but I stayed. ;) (wink)
