And if elected president of your country I solemnly swear that the Rolling Stones will play a gig on the White House lawn once a month!
I vow to make all purchases of jazz albums tax deductible & to make Charlie Parker's birthday a national holiday!
I am running on the Swing Ticket!

And while you're at it, swing a punch at your two buddies. They're making faces behind your back. |

Ode to One Charlie . That's IT !!!!! Oh my God !!!! Poem alert !!!!! ....go Joey Cake ....................NOW !!!! :
Savoy sides presents a new saxophone sensation
It's Parker's band with a smooth style of syncopation
Kansas City born and growing
You won't believe what the boys are blowing
You got to come on man
And take a piece of Mister Parker's band
You'll be riding by, bareback on your armadillo
You'll be grooving high or relaxing at Camarillo
Suddenly the music hits you
It's a bird in flight that just can't quit you
You got to come on man
And take a piece of Mister Parker's band
We will spend a dizzy weekend smacked into a trance
Me and you will listen to
A little bit of what made the preacher dance
Bring your horn along and you can add to the pure confection
And if you can't fly you'll have to move in with the rhythm section
Either way you're bound to function
Fifty-Second Street's the junction
You got to come on man
And take a piece of Mister Parker's
Clap your hands and take a piece of Mister Parker's
Come on man and take a piece of Mister Parker's Band !
Thank You For Your Time !
Jacky Cake !

Charles Christopher "Yardbird" Parker Jr.
B. 29-Aug-1920 Kansas City, Kansas
D. 12-March-1955 NYC Lived 34 years.
Speaking of nasty habits... Bird died from ulcers and cirrhosis of the liver. Also a major heroin addict.
No doubt, a master of his instrument, the tenor saxophone. One of the originators of bebop. A major loss.
