Stan was by far my biggest influence in music. I still try to duplicate that incredible airy sound. When Stan passed away, my wife at the time called me at the office to tell be the very bad news. I was so upset that people in my office thought one of my family members had passed away. When I left the office to go home, the jazz station I listened to at the time was playing Stan's music non-stop. I was still upset and I forgot I was low on gas, I was going to gas up on my way home. Well I ran out of gas going over the Sea Bright bridge in NJ---True Story. Over the years I saw Stan perform many times in NY. I even spoke to him on two occasions, the first time was at Hoppers Restaurant and the second time was at the Other End. The night at the Other End, my table was up against the stage, right in the middle. I had my arm on the stage looking up at Stan all night. That was an incredible show. I will always listen to his music for as long as I live. I just wanted to share these thoughts with you!!!
I wrote you yesterday about status, your address for sending the Sax CD's and DVD of Sea of Love Musical Film - one hour - and a television interview (6 min 20 sec) and playing sax promotion. I have to get the DVD in file you can download coming soon. I ask about the mouthpiece stan used as the webpage is not available. I use a Brillhart 5 (45 years use) and thought he preferred it - have a Vandoren Optimum, but haven't used it . please reply Jack
