The number one reason I love book browsing: Every once in a while you stumble across something that changes your perspectives. On a Valentine's Day date night with the missus, I found myself stalling for time in the local mega-bookstore. On a clearance rack, marked $1, I found a copy of "
Flying Home: Lionel Hampton
- Celebrating 100 Years of Good Vibes". Figuring the enclosed CD was worth the $1, I took it home.
This short book reaffirmed my love for jazz and introduced me to stuff I did not already know, including just how great Lionel Hampton was as a jazz artist and (more importantly) as a man.
God, I love books...
