Happy birthday, Bouff! Hey, Blogger let me comment today....
P.
Hey, Bouff, what's with the spelling of "Jazs"? I always thought that you were "Dr Jazz"....

P.S. Your avatar with the blonde long-haired guy with polar bear looks uncannily like you.....
The Editor Speaks:
Well, as The Editor hasn't really used the "Dr. Jazs" moniker for many yrs., we don't give that much of a shit how it's spelled (just as many spell my semi-legal name as "Chaz," rather than the actual, how I like it, abbreviation "Chas.") though there was a song (or maybe it was the title) from a '30s musical called "Hello Central, Get Me Dr. Jazz," so we wanted to differentiate ourself from that. The Mad Meltz came up w/ Dr. Jazs (has a nice Hungarian touch to it) &/or Dr. Jass (original New Orleans Negro-stylee spelling) as well. You know what a literary stylist he is.
