INTERNATIONAL JAZZ DAY

That little loving cup on the piano is for "best comedy act" (for singing "Gimme That Wine" among other comic tunes) after I lost the trophy for best jazz act, in 1964, on Fairchild Air Force base outside Spokane, Washington (and after the photographer asked me to remove my shades).
