    thanks to Sidney Anderson, my stepfather's friend, who slipped a "Jazz Album' to me, through a rip in a screen door.....then, smiling and winking, left me...holding the worn album and a tin box of replacement steel phonograph needles.......It was 'goodbye', Billy Riley & his Little Green Men'....and 'hello', to some 'Soul-Searching' instrumental Jazz and Blues.......
