Begin forwarded message: From: Alan Broadbent Dear Ruth. I'm very glad it went well and it was a pleasure to play for everyone. Yeah, that comedy thing surprised me too! And you. Singlehandedly you've kept this institution going over the years so that people can continue to hear jazz in an environment worthy of the music. I'll miss you a lot, as I miss you not singing all those obscure, beautiful standards you used to do. With love, affection and admiration, Alan "What's best in music won't be found in the notes."

The Jazz Bakery actually made some money (not so typical for us), which we badly need to stay afloat until the "big build." You must know by now that I love you, and I thank you with all my heart for your expressed loyalty to the JB, and for your personal friendship, which I treasure. Always Yours, |
