    You Bet Mickey,
    My perspective is not new, but the marketing strategy may be. I view
    the idea of mini-movie, so to speak, accompanying jazz music, as a formidable tool. It would level the playing field with other successful genres.

    I have recently digitized images I took in the late 70s and early 80s. I have a lot of Wallace stuff and I think some things with you and Wallace. When I get a minute I will post them to you.
