A few years ago, two parents went out for dinner. A few hours later, the babysitter was calling to ask if she could cover up the clown statue in the kids' room, the father said,"Take the kids and get out of the house. We'll call the police, we don't have a clown statue." The "clown statue" is really a killer that escaped from jail. If you don't post this letter on to 10 videos tonight, the clown will be in your bed at 3:00 am with a chainsaw in his hand ......., x

This appears to be from the Basie at Carnegie Hall concert of March 20, 1981. Freddie Green was mysteriously missing with an unexplained malady. This is available on DVD. And, yes it is In A Mellotone (spelled that way by Ellington).

Sounds very thoughtful. They did the same for me when I left NBC in 1984, but they put the chair over an open manhole on 6th Avenue, and then invited me to sit on it.

Regards

OK - Why is the chair vacant?

And the date of the recording?

No one seems to think that's important (Weird).

Thanks for posting - it's excellent.
