The Mother Unit sent me the link to this picture. He's the one draped over the bass, which he can still play like a madman even in his 80s.

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!

Sweet, I would never have known When in that picture if it wasn't for the caption. That picture is virtually eternal. He looks... incredible.

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?)
