a toast to those who are gone

too many too many lost last year it's staggering alton and isaac and norman and levi and bo and eartha and freddie and all so this year we're celebrating the greats still with us shouting it loud and cheering them on whenever we can and being desperately desperately grateful for all the joy they've brung to our hungry souls before it's too late.
germs and jazz have been sweaty sneezy bedfellows these last weeks so here's a last wopping great trumpety thankyou thankyou and goodbye to a big horny genius. thankyou freddie.
