Thanks Emily and Gary! It's great to have support from people like you that keep encouraging me in my quest.

I have to say, Gary, that I have more material than I need to do the film. In fact, it will be hard to determine what will end up on the cutting room floor. That being said, I have been acquiring more and more and others have been sending me additional material as well.

I know I'm on the right path - I'm speaking to the right people - I just have to connect with someone or some organization who has the same vision... I spoke with the House of Blues Foundation and while they stopped short of funding, they said they would be willing to work with me in hosting a fundraising concert(s) at their facility.

With the connections I have in the jazz world here throughout Los Angeles, we could put on one heck of a show!

Thanks again for your encouragements...
