Relaxing in Hawaii in 1990 on my way back from touring Japan with Carole King. The music clip makes it. It's Barney Bigard Sextet playing 'Sweet Marijuana Brown' with Art Tatum on piano! 1945.

Joe Cohen RIP
My random movie maker recently surfaced a journal entry from 1997 when I was living on Westmoreland Ave. in Hollywood having just been evicted from my awesome rent-controlled apartment in Silverlake by a greedy landlord. One of my roommates was Joe Cohen. We got along okay, but basically trolled each other constantly. Joe was having a hard time finding work at the time. Today I discovered he'd passed in 2016.
