Re: bopalula



All I'm saying is that Walter used some bebop phrases on some tracks, 
even if he wasn't a bebop artist. Is that too hard for you to accept, 
or would you like to have a laugh at my opinion with another gag

By the way, I don't really have a problem with overblows, I just like 
winding you up (and it works!).

You take care yourself, friend.
