| posts like the one above just re-assures me that there are many good human beings in this world. a great player spent time with one of us mere mortals and proved that on top of being a terrific player he is also a terrific human being. I have met several players that came to Indy and had plans to take over the town and looked down on the rest of us, one subbed in a big band I was playing in and when I complimented him on a solo he took he gave me an extremely rude remark. he left half way through the job saying that people needed to pay to hear his playing [he knew it was a freebie when he accepted the job]. hats off to Manny. old geezer Dave
