"H.H."

Dear Canadians, I bet you thought that "H.H." was an abbreviation for Helly Hansen.

Very wrong! It's HERBIE HANCOCK!!

Herbie paid a nice visit to the high school yesterday afternoon and worked with the jazz kids. He did a lot of improvisation work, getting the kids to listen and feel for the keys rather than depending on a conductor. He seemed thoroughly satisfied with what the kids had been working on, and recognized immediately that the piano player was a hardcore classical pianist. (Oh Sean if only you were here to rock the show!!) I had to leave with the swim team for practice, but from what I hear of the rest of the afternoon, it went well! Such a pleasant man!
