If you enjoy sounds like jazz, each cruise was a happening:
Each performer was treated royally.Each guest was received in kind.
Frank Foster attributed it to the 'magic of the music.'
Keter Betts called it a 'love-in.'
Our local man, Don Wolf, presented a great retrospective on Joe Williams.
I met Nat at breakfast, 6 hours later he still remembered my name.

Gerry played his final
performance aboard. He
played his entire library, he
would talk and then play.
Pete Minger was stricken
aboard, had to be air lifted.
