    Thanks a lot for adding me as your friend.

    I am a friend of Jimmy Heath, Benny Golson, Bobby Watson and others who came to my Coltrane House of Osaka, Japan for dinner and seeing my Coltrane memorabilia.

    I enjoy your interview with them so much.

    Keep in touch and I look forward to seeing you personally in my next trip to DC. My last visit to DC was in September 2009 for my lecture at UDC.
