This is an original Strata-East record

Listener Gregory:

That was an unusual Heath Bros piece.

Listener Gregory:

Presumably, Smilin’ Billy is Billy Higgins.
  8:30pm
Listener Gregory:

Of course, a minute after I wrote that it sounds unusual it began to sound exactly like the Heath Bros!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 8:33pm
WR:

Billy Higgins is a reasonably guess but seems it is someone in the Heath family.

great track. rap snitches telling all their business. hey @observetions and all
  8:38pm
Listener Gregory:

@WR, I don’t really know who it refers to, but I’ve often heard Higgins called Smilin’ Billy Higgins, and he does in fact smile angelically while playing. Also, there was a drum feature in the piece. No doubt later someone will inform us that it refers to Miles Davis as an inside joke or something.

If you care about such things
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 9:19pm
WR:

LG, you are correct: "The album included Jimmy’s four-part “Smiling Billy Suite” (dedicated to the drummer Billy Higgins)". That quote is from Jimmy Heath's NYT obituary. On the back cover of the album is a comment that the album title, suggested by their sister Betty, "Marchin' On" was in honor of their parents so I was looking for further family connections. There are, but Smilin' Billy wasn't one of them.

The La Roca vinyl is the only recording on today's episode that I have. Though it is packed away in storage.
