Another
birthday shout-out goes to Herman “Ivory” Chittison, born today in
Flemingsburg, Kentucky, 1908. He began his career in Zack Whyte’s band in 1928,
and in those early days also worked with Ethel Waters, Adelaide Hall and
Clarence Williams. Here his with his trio. (Nothing like the scratch and pop of
an old record!) Thanks, Ivory! See ya down the road ...

It seems appropriate to mention that daredevil Felix Baumgartner jumped from the edge of space into {Our} Blue Heaven, yesterday and landed safely in Roswell, New Mexico. This tune goes out to you, too!
Felix Baumgartner-- the BIG JUMP!
