Here's a factoid for you, I created the font you used to say Cagney and Lacey etc! I am honoured you used it. Have always loved this theme. Phil

This is great Ray! I've listened to this theme many times as a younger man and even though I always found the beat campy (I'm from Venezuela), I recall being impressed by the horn player's freedom in the tune. Now I know why. Ernie Watts plays one of my all time favorite sax solos and I cannot recall if it was with Sarah Vaughan (One of her Brazilian things) or Milton Nascimento. Just the same, both of you are an inspiration to me and I am glad you are posting these items.

OMG is that you? Email me your autograph immediately. My Hero and so famous. Love your Altissimo register!

.....Both Ernie Watts and myself on saxes. Ernie is a long time friend and a most gifted and dedicated musician.

[LynFredrick]

Then of course I must have both autograph's!

You are both truly gifted and I am honored to know you.
