Guy showed up in my dream & we had a long talk. He told me the story of his life, which was hard.

I am not sure if I every heard of him before so I poked around.

I do not claim that it WAS Tal Farlow.

In my dream he looked quite a bit like a younger version of this

but he played a piano in a swing band. I came across the swing band playing in a yard. They were really grooving. They had a CD collection out.

I noticed that there was something moody & depressed about the piano player. He came over to talk to me & we took a long walk. I tried to help him out, but realized that maybe if I listened instead I'd learn something.

Then he disappeared just before I got home, which was good as my wife would disapprove of me bringing a depressed stranger home. I should know. Early on in our marraige I used to let hitchikers stay at our apartment. This did not go over well.

Dug this April 2008 Premier Guitar article up

I hadn't read that article, but it is possible that I saw the article title while poking around the Premier Guitar site & picked up his name that way.
