Yeah, I'm here now too. Kind of like a love-sick puppy, I follow you around everywhere. xoxo :)

Good thing I said I was a puppy and not a stalker. Insomnia, sigh!

Hello Bev,
How have you been?
Here's a lot of "NEW" with me and I will let you know:)

I hope everything is nice with you.
Beautiful music, photos here on your page!!!
XOXO:)

Hi Bev, I hope all is well at the estate, and you and the pups are having lots of fun. In my youtube search this week I found some of Stan and Astrud Gilberto videos. I dont know if Stans site allready has them posted. It was my first viewing of them and hope you also enjoy them. Love and hugs - Lou

The little troll is saying Ti Tei <3 <3

Bev, your compliment made my week! Thank you for making me smile. I'm diggin' listening to Hilde and I'm thrilled that I'm lucky enough to her friend AND your friend. I consider it a blessing to have met you here and even though only one can win each bingo game and it can get a little competitive, I think that the mutual love we have for animals, music, and laughter will see us through for many years to come. My wig itches! Is this a Troll booth, because I don't have any change?! ;o) Hugs from here to FB and back.

BEAUTIFUL!! - The story on the front page and listening to "Her", I think I'll stay here for a while, it's like meditation. "Her" is one of my favorite!!!
Love you Søs and sending stooooooooor klem

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave me a welcome message - it's lovely to feel like part of a community here, all digging Stan's music. I'm sure you're approached by people telling you how much Stan's music means to them on a fairly regular basis(!), but anyway here's my twopenny worth: Stan IS music, pure and simple. He is melody and rhythm and phrasing and all things delightful. He is everything that is good and fine in music. Thanks for having me at your lovely site. x DD

Thinking about you today!!!

Love you
xoxoxo

I will burn a candle today in memory of Stan Getz.
Sending you love and hugs
Egil

Best wishes to you. I hope it is a day of warm memories and joy.

Good night Bev.
So much in our hearts.

Thank you.

Hi.... It's so nice to meet you.. Wow you writing was like coming home.... Yup I knew Stan when he was living in Lauderdale by the sea... He was just great.. and with his cool demeanor on stage was just the nicest guy to talk to... It's funny what a big part of my life he was... Everything from when my kids were babies and would cry in the middle of the night and I'd go see what the needed and after a changing or bottle the only song I could think of to sing to them at that time in the morning was " The girl From Ipanema" Now they listen and love your dad's music too...:) Even just a year or two ago I was driving back from Daytona and it was pouring down rain so bad I was calling friends on the cell phone just to let them know where I was and wasn't sure I was going to make it... One of Stan's songs came on the radio and the weather cleared up and so did I... I kind of took it as a nice hello and someone up there was watching out for me... Thanks for writing.. I'm a professional photographer and if you'd like to referbish any of the older photos I'd be glad to help... or for that matter anything else I can do...
Thanks
Anna

Thank you Bev for your understanding and warm remarks. Only three times have I cried my eyes out when a musician I loved passed away: Stan, Bill Evans and now Kenny Rankin. His soul as much as his voice and choice of material were unique. His "Kenny Rankin Album" is one I could not live without. He will sing in heaven alongside your dad and others. It is a great loss for us, however. Thanks again. It is good to know a Mensch like you.

Bev, I wish you could be my manager! I wouldn't micromanage you, I promise. haha. I'll just have to imagine you as the voice of my positive angel on my shoulder whispering affirmations :o) I sure hope you can drown out the negative voice, it's Fran Dresher. It used to be Ethel Merman, but I couldn't take, "There's Ne-o Business Like She-ow Business" even one more time. I'd say, "Damn you to hell and back, Ethel, you're about a hundred dry-mouthed years old, don't you know any other songs? And where did you learn your phrasing? On a roller coaster? She told me it was a trampoline, but I thought she called me a 'tramp who leaned' and fisticuffs ensued. I still have her wig, but she was out of a gig. Well, this could go on all night, and some day, it might! Big love and an even bigger thank you to you. <3 to the fur babies.

Dear Wonderful And Jazzy Beverly,

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO WONDERFUL TO HEAR FROM YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!

Paris was "April In Paris" and all and beyond ever expected. Followed your always GREAT advice and drank only water shipped in from Mexico or some
other location....NO PROBLEMS.......YET! HA...LOL..........................
( OF COURSE I'M KIDDING...DON'T WANT TO OFFEND ANYONE IN FRANCE OR
MEXICO OR OTHER GREAT NATIONS AND PERSONS...AND YOU WERE ONLY
JOKING TOO - HA HA HA - "LIKE HELL" THE LADY SAID..."I ain't drinkin' THAT water again!").

SERIOUSLY, we must visit again soon! In the meantime keep thinkin' Lake
George Jazz Festival...I don't have exact dates yet, but last year it was in
mid-September....EXCELLENT JAZZ...but nothing like THE SOUND that I'm
listening to right now as my fingers dance across the keyboard of my compy
(that sounds weirdo...lol)......BUT UNCLE STANLEY WILL FOREVER SET THE
STANDARD FOR PAR PAR EXCELENCE IN JAZZ ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD...
AND BEYOND....FAR FAR FAR WAY WAY WAY PAST FAR AWAY PLACES.......

Take Care My Dear Bev And Always My Warmest Regards/Wishes
With MUCH Love... And Respect...And Admiration...And Gratitude
Your True And Timeless Friend (with mutual love also from C.G. Jung),
HUGE HUGS AND KISSES, {Carl said to say from him too: XOXOXOXOXOXO}
Bob

You're welcome Bev.
Have a great day (-:

Without A Song

Anything to help Bev.

Dear Bev,

I spoke again today (6/23/09) to the city manager of Stanley, Virginia, Terry Petit, who assured me (again) that the very next street that is named in Stanley, Va., will be STAN GETZ Street. Perhaps it will be this summer - depends upon building & the economy but Stan's street is coming. This small town of less than 2000 appreciates the great jazz legacy of Stan and honors him as I do. We love you Stan! We always have.

Thanks for the welcome Bev and thanks for this great forum for Stans fans to get together.
Jer

Thanks for your welcome Bev. I am delighted to be a member of the Stan Getz Community and am looking forward to many visits to this terrific website in the future. I visited the site as I am planning to present a recital entitled The Sound of Stan Getz to the Glasgow Jazz Record Club, which was founded in 1933, in February. Glasgow has a connection with Stan as his wonderful concert there in 1989 was broadcast by the BBC and later issued on CD. My audience is likely to be somewhat smaller, but the music will be just as great.
Larry

The music of Stan Getz is current, while a classic. A big name in jazz.

So glad you added Parker 51 to the site. One of my favorites. I arranged it for a big band. Sorry haven't been here for a while. Thanks for joining the Sid Catlett and Terry Gibbs groups on Face Book.

;-)))))
Love you Thumb Ninja!!!
XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO

Hope you come back to FB soon.

Coming to NY on Sept 9th for a week to see my kids...will try and get in touch

Hi Bev,

Stopping by to send some 'good vibes'. Your picture here is so pretty, you look like you are in your 20's!! You go girl!

Talk soon,
Love,
Jaijai

Wee ......
I just love it
Nice to see you here B.

Love

Indeed, FB can be an energy inhaler. Hey! what are you inhaling young lady?! You put that down right now! haha... FB is kind of like going to a busy club or bar, and it's nice to get away from the din - do not take me away from din-ner, however! This is a nice calm place here, the cosmic black page, no stupid quizzes or apps. So, I do understand your sabbatical. Back to recording and then I'll be whipping out my famous buttermilk biscuits! haha... They're lining up at the door already, wait...they're holding bills in their hands, "They're NOT those kind of biscuits!" Phew, that was a close one. Love & hugs to you and the fur fam. We'll find each other :o)

Hi Bev!
What a photo! A beautiful comment to wake up too and have my morning coffee together with. Thank you!
AND: STOR KLEM TILBAKE til deg.
Egil

Thank you Bambi Dear! I'm glad you liked my "Swollen Moments."

Love you!
XOXOXOXOXO

Hi Bev -

Thank you so much for listening and for your kind words!

Keep up the good work here on the site, and I'll send you my new CD as soon as it is ready!

Best,

Peace,

- Jeff Newton

Hey Bambi,
Sorry I missed your call again- I have been frantic the last couple of days, dealing with some things and my daughter Cassandra's visit. She leaves tomorrow morning, going back to Louisville, so I've been spending more time with her on her last day. I'll try to catch you tomorrow. Hugs to you and Johannah!

Love,
Bill

Hei gode tvillingsjelsøs.
I meant to call you today, but there's a terrible weather here so I don't want to use the phone - you know everything about me and thunder and lightning :-///

Love youuuuuuuuu
Sending all my warmest, most smiling energy to you!!
xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo

My father Anders Dyrup and I was yesterday remembering Stan Getz and his wonderful music and the time they lived together in Denmark, so today I found this web-page and just want to congratulate you with it and send many regards from us (now living in Lanzarote, Canary Islands, Spain. Yours sincerely Lyng Dyrup

Bev, about the quote at the top of your page: sorry, but in my limited experience all too often a person to be loved IS a problem to be solved. At least a sax gives you a second chance!

Hope your experience has been different from mine.

Stephen

Thank you very much Bev for coming back with your nice words. My Father (81 in october) will be so pleased!
Yours Lyng

Bev, great pic!

Thank you B. They are playing so beautifully.
Incredible. Love them.

Bev, its been a while hope all is well.
I wanted to know if you were aware Joel Frahm will be doing a tribute to Stan on Oct. 16th in Hartford's Asylum Hill. The tribute will be celebrating Stans "FOCUS"
Please let me know if you would be interested in attending, that would add so much to the purformance.
Please feel free to contact me if you are interested.
Thanks

Dear Bev,

How are you? Fine, I hope !

I would ask you this :" is there any "Stan Getz foundation" ? I mean something like a "museum" in the memory of your father?
A place where every fan could go to find many things about his life, many pictures, many videos, records, paintings...ect.
May be this place is existing ...Could you please tell me where it is...may be one day, I will go in New-York ...I would like to discover such a place where his former friends could leave a thing, a word about him...a place where we could a his sensitive spirit!
May be ...if this place does not exists, it is an idea ???Why not !!??
My best regards, whising you all the best !
Gérard

Ti Tei.
A quick visit on your page to give you this:
Stor klem!!

Love
Søs

Bev - what you are doing is a beautiful thing and you are doing at a creative level that reflects your dads music. Glenn:)

You sure resemble you dad. jack
