Just Because I Wish He Was Here Today

Various pictures of my dad (the drummer) and his Dixieland band, The Aritocrats of Dixie. I took these at three different venues in the early 1980s, the Queen Mary in Long Beach, the Santa Barbara Elks Club and at the Sacramento Jazz Festival, where they annually presided as the elected representative band for southern California.

  1. There are three people from your past, who have already passed, that I wish that I had the opportunity to know: Cteve, Frank, and your dad.

  4. He was such a lovin and generous man who was so full of knowledge, but who never displayed it as a badge. I was always surprised by something new, whenever he told me something new when I was over for a visit.

    Lynette, who couldn't love you to death? You have brought so much into Steph's life and are such a bright light to follow.
