If anyone can say "what a wonderful life", Mr. Lester Paul exemplified it
I'm sure that Dan and everyone else up there in Heaven are crowding around in a meet-n-greet with Les and asking: "What took ya so long?"

You paint a pretty picture, MM. :)
Thanks,
Junie Rose
Les is saying: "Well, I had that longtime gig at the Iradium in Times Square every Monday night ... until a few weeks ago when I just couldn't do it anymore .. and so here I am for the ages ... gave it my best till the end"
BTW, thanks for the beautiful Dan'O music tonight :)

Sad news but what a wonderfully long life he had. He was one of my very favorites when I was in my twenties. Thanks for the heads up Junie.
MM,
Well, I guess we can't know -word for word- what's being said up there...but that sounds nice -and logical :)
So glad you enjoyed the Dan music! I've been listening to him also!( right along with you!)
He was/is/will always be- wonderful!
I want to get that final CD as soon as I can! Supposed to be available on Sept 22nd at Amazon...pre-order so maybe tomorrow I will do that!
Thanks-Have a good night,
Junie
Hi Mary,
Yes-he had a great and long life. I remember him from the early days too!
I was viewing some youtube vids last night of those early TV shows.
Thanks for coming by!
Hope things are going well at your house these days!

We are all getting older June, so I guess it follows that a lot of our heros and peers are passing away.
I'm pretty sure that its Charles that rides the Victory motor cycle? they have at last been released here in Australia.... look very nice rides!!!!
Hi Peter,
So (sad-but) true- we all ARE getting older - all on the same journey!I guess we shouldn't be sad to hear of someone at age 94 passing on- especially one who has had a very successful life.
Yes-C. has a VICTORY! :) We love it but haven't ridden in a while- or at least I haven't!
Thanks for coming by, Peter.
