let's just leave it there, shall we? :whistle:

Yes, this looks correct, to me. -_-

Zoot wins the cigar - well done that man
All correct

I've never heard Chris Wood referred to as "The Bird". Where did you get that from?

Close enough for someone who has never heard any of his music.

GREASE FOR ROADS

Refer to Traffics 2nd album - Just called Traffic - dont have the CD version however on the credit notes inside the cover he is referred to as The Bird

No he isn't HS. To quote Jimmy Miller's liner notes:

Not enough people have met Chris Wood or any other saxophone player free of trying to top "the Bird", or Stitt, or Coltrane.

"The Bird" referred to Charlie Parker.

Shut up.

I won the quiz fair and square.

FAIR AND SQUARE, damn you!

It's not fair, you've got psychic powers. :angry:
