I was between 7 and 10 years old when Coltrane was one of our locals, a neighbor. I can’t believe it!

Thank you, Steve Fulgoni, for your efforts to preserve his home. I hope to visit it when I visit Long Island again.

All best….

Brilliant work Steve and well done. 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 :

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 :

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 :

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 :

Keep up the good work.

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 ?
