 Mon Pierre, This is so EXACTLY correct, I think I shall throw myself 
down into an empty swimming pool.

 and now it's time for 'Precious Moments' #4. It is Buckeye 2005, Pick 
ANY hour, every time I turn around, P.T. Gazell is close at hand and 
usually wafting his harp excellence into the atmosphere. I especially 
liked our little jazz improvs in the lobby, was overjoyed when he 
showed up at the sound check and I found out he would do a vignette Fri 
nite.
 I had been reading with great interest about how he had disappeared 
for many years. Man, what WAS this guy thinking? I was tempted to 
charge him with "Felonious attempts with intent to deprive the 
harmonica community of his talent(s)".
 I was a little bummed out when the jazz jam only went an hour or so 
because there were only a couple of us there willing to play (P.T. was 
one...thank God).
 Then, at the blues jam, as I was hiding behind Mark Voss, he looked at 
me thinking 'I' was gonna take a turn. Yeah...right. One thing I 
learned in the Navy..never go against battlewagons when you're only a 
sub-chaser.
 Hey Phil, let's 'stick around' this time...OK. Let's knock it off with 
the disappearing acts. :)
