Maybe I'm not a huge jazz fan, but still a sad thing. Jazz is music, and music is good. I like to think that there's a music Heaven, and I'll bet they've got one hell of a band!

Oscar is now jamming out tunes with Jim, Jimi, Lennon, Rhoads, Bon Scott, Johann S, Old Ray, Elvis, Janis, Al Afeldt (a local rocker killed by a drunk driver), Jam Master Jay, Buddy, and all the other greats. And it sounds damn good too. Since record companies don't get into heaven (they made a deal after all), we'll never get to hear it in this lifetime.

Wait a minute Obi-wan. Before you get carried away remember one thing: Elvis isn't in Heaven. He's with the aliens. And I have my suspicions about some of the other names on that list too.
