A GOOD MOVIE

Lots of hands clapping and cheering for "I CALLED HIM MORGAN"! Quite an enjoyable and informative movie. It was a pleasure to watch this flick. Recommended viewing for any jazz/music folk who haven't seen it yet. Larry Thomas was great - both in the picture and in terms of the material he provided to this endeavor. Larry, "KEEP ON KEEPIN' ON"! Edward Furtick, Jr.
