Jane Fonda Meets Ken Cockrel

On page 60 of the Jane Fonda profile in the current New Yorker Magazine there is mention of Ken Cockrel (see my 29 & 27 April 2011 Blogs) by Jane Fonda. Fabulous 1960s. As current events unfold those times are looking better to us in terms of the political activism and music, at least.
   Hamiet Bluiett remarked to me a few years ago that when he began playing music the young cats were in charge of what was happening - the new music, the new things. Today the young cats have to look to the old cats to find out what's happening musically. Bluiett blames this turnaround in part on the demise of the Saturday matinee where young people were exposed to the music greats up close.
   What's happening Jane?
