Very cool - I wish I had a good photo (any photo) of my biological Granpa.
I love his pose in that shot - what is it about bassists that they always seem to have an 'overabundance of personality'? (And I mean that in a complimentory way, of course.)
I think that is a very cool ass pic. It's awsome to see your ancestors in such beautiful, and natural poses and settings. And you have reminded me that I need to get a copy of the glamor shot my grandmother did when she was in her late teens. She was a smoking hotty!
What a cool cat! (checks) Hey, it IS a Minton! Minton took such awesome photographs of that entire scene and of all those folks who still live on in their music: Louis, Billy, Dizzy, Benny, and your Gramps.
(The fact that the link is from my local paper threw me for sec.I guess I need my chai, eh?)
