"Last Dance at Midnight" is at http://running.mirrorz.com/ ![]() In loving tribute to Bix - who played so beautifully and died way too young. Davenport Blues was Bix Beiderbecke's first composition to have been recorded. The historic event took place in the Gennett Recording Studios of the Starr Piano Company, in Richmond, Indiana, on January 26, 1925. The musicians in the group - Bix Beiderbecke and His Rhythm Jugglers - were: Bix (cornet), Don Murray (clarinet), Tommy Dorsey (trombone), Paul Mertz (piano), Tommy Gargano (drums), and Howdy Quicksell (banjo)
Hello Friends,It`s been a while since I was here.I was at my neices wedding in Texas which was very beautiful!It`s a very nice day here in Los Angeles today. Like a lot of you,I`m still feeling a lot of emotion over the passing of Michael Jackson and also of Farah Fawcet.I grew up listening to Micheal and he was one of the best in music,ever.I had a notebook in college with the Farah poster on it.Although I`m over the shock,I deeply miss both of these talented people. I went to a church service today and it was exceptional.The message I got was it`s not really that cool to be flying your own banner all of the time.I`ve been somwhat guilty of that but have tried to limit myself.With me it`s economics.I can`t afford a PR firm right now! The banner I should be waving is the one of Jesus Christ.Somehow,I`m going to tie this all in to a worthwhile goal-this Ice Giants thing-it was intended to be that way and then for a long time,it virtually didn`t exist at all and I have no desire to spill my guts over the details.It looks like we will be back with a new song or songs and a new video.If you had told me this two years ago,I`d have said I don`t think so.So it`s good for me that this is happening but all in all,I desire to use whatever success I may have into furthering the spread of the gospel of Christ.That`s just what I want to do and that`s what I`m going to do. Right now my favorite music is gospel.I`m not sure I can write that but I`d like to put something out besides fluff,if you know what I mean!Anyway,things are moving forward!Thanks for joining me today.Take Care,Johnny
