Addendum - 6/30/00:

  By the way, Moose, my 30 has a total of 55 cds. There are 32 cds in the first 10 selections. Ornette Coleman
  bumped Frank Zappa and Arlo Guthrie. I may re-do it later and work in a Zappa or two, perhaps King Kong or
  Apostrophe, maybe even Freak Out. I am listening to Coltrane Live at the Village Vanguard today. I may add it
  too. Maybe bump one or two Jimi Hendrix or get a Hendrix box set and a Zappa box set. Speaking of box sets
  Ornette and Eric Dolphy I will definitely get in the near future. Love them both more all the time.
