Chet The Dog

If You Were Mine

Music is important in the Chet and Bernie series (and central to Heart of Barkness) and this song comes up a lot. Chet is especially into Roy Eldridge’s solo that closes it out. I actually saw him play at club on New York in the ’70’s. As for Billie Holiday all I can say is ou sont les neiges d’antan?

   I like the Villon quotation–“Where are the snows of yesteryear?”

   Good day to all.

   With apologies to BooBear’s Mom, I will not be rooting for Houston, nor will I be rooting for Philly especially for this reason…
