The Coltrane house predated some of the nearby houses; in 1973 and the houses on the street perpendicular to theirs were brand new...my parents had the house built. I met the kids very briefly and I remember seeing thier mom. I am so tickled to have learned of this!

A wonderful & inspiring story. If only more di what you did, what a great legacy the wrold would have regarding all great musicians, etc. I was sad to find out that Buddy Holly's birth home is no more after putting together a tribute project tot eh great rock and roll star in Birmingham this year : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nDMO1FFlcZo I've just watched Coltrane on the KIND OF BLUE session on YOU TUBE. He makes love to his instruement and is in paradise as he plays it. He is definately a god of jazz : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XGrUDAzlXzI I am reading the bio of Miles Davies at present but haven't got to the KOB sessions as yet. I am a big fan of jazz and listen to this show on BBC RADIO 4 regularly : http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b006tnn9 I also have the autographs of Artie Shaw and Acker Bilk somewhere in my loft. I also received a signed photo from Doris Day a few weeks back, which nearly knocked me over. She of course performed with many a jazz, dance and big band. I recently wrote a book about a British actor who was in a Hitchcock film with her in 1957 called THE MAN WHO KNEW TOO MUCH and his name was Richard Wattis : http://www.tonyhancock.org.uk/wattis.htm Keep up the good work. BW, IAN PAYNE PS - I remember watching a doc about JC on BBC TV a while back where the presenter started off in his birth home. Is that still standing ? 8 THORNBURY RD
