"The pearl is both the traditional gift suggestion and the gemstone of the thirtieth anniversary so that seems to make some sort of pearl gift almost mandatory. Pearls have been popular since Roman times and are the only gem made by a living creature. It is said Cleopatra dissolved a pearl in wine and drank it to prove her love of Marc Antony."

When you hear Ben Webster in his later years, it doesn't always sound like he should be nicknamed 'The Brute". But in his early years, taking Hawk's innovations and making them his own (and whenever he had a good mind to later), he could blow the roof off!

Hello Stork and swells. I’ve been listening from outside since noon, but kept slipping and falling on all the honey fairly dripping off the bandstand and the sagacious gravy seeping out of the kitchen before I could get through the door. I’m just glad I made it before the waiter spilled some frim-fram sauce or I’d never have made it.
