Happy Birthday Lewis.

Today you would have been 62.

I remember you telling me of your birth at Flower Fifth Ave. Hospital. How your mother and the doctor played cards waiting for you to arrive. As your father was overly nervous. But he celebrated the event by giving your mother a blue Caddy. The status sign of the 1940's.

You never were a big fan of memorializing the birth of someone long dead. As Public Radio does to honor the composers / poets of the day. But I want to have blog readers remember you and your wonderful words. Many are already on this blog so just read earlier posts.
