FOR MICKEY SCHWERNER AND HIS CREW
1964 was a while back. I remember it like it was yesterday. Mickey Schwerner and I were friends and worked together waiting tables during our college days. The renditions I've posted of Mississippi Goddamn allow me the opportunity to remember Mickey while enjoying some smokin' performances.

HIP
The album "The Milt Jackson Quartet" which is shown in my immediately previous post (Wonder Why) qualifies as being one of the HIPPEST/MOST HIP recordings I know! This gem will have a birthday soon - recorded on May 20, 1955. I'm not sure how many of those sixty-five years I've listened to it, but it has been quite a few, and it still is HIP, HIP, HIP!
