The great Yardbird would have been 65 today! Which sounds like resason enough for a party. Ah, but to hear him bouncing Billie. But meanwhile Max was making wax, while Miles was carving the bird of paradise, Dizzy was munching on salt peanuts and Bud was chasing polka dots and moonbeams. And how about that night in Birdland, when Fats got a respite from TB and heroin to blow round midnight? Or the summit meeting at Birdland with Dex, huh? Have you ever wondered what happens when a Bird meets a Dodo? You know, the woman was right when she had her thighs tattooed: BIRD LIVES!!!!!
