Hey Will -

I was glad to see your salute to "Sam's Song", especially when you talked about the version Bing and Gary Crosby did with Matty Matlock. Matty was a dear friend of mine, my neighbor who lived just across the street from me in North Hollywood in my early days. He was a sweet man and always enthralled me when he talked about working with Bob & Bing C., Jack Webb (Pete Kelly's Blues), Ella, Mel and all the other greats of that era. For a guy so accomplished, he had to be one of the most modest men I ever met - truly one of the good guys. What a legacy he left us! Keep on keepin' on, - Hank/Henry Jones
