Cool story, Dick. He came to my parents' attention when played some
shows at the Hungry I in SF in the late '50s, so we had all his albums
on vinyl when I was growing up. I still have those 3 LPs on vinyl and
am slowly transferring them to MP3s using a USB turntable that I got for
Xmas. As a chemist married in the Catholic church, "The Elements" and
"The Vatican Rag" are two of my all-time favorites, though there are
just too many good songs to choose from.
