"I Heard That" -- Remembering the Alley BrothersRochelle Metcalfebyline‚ Nov. 21‚ 2007HAPPY THANKSGIVING - The Holiday Season is upon us! A time to come together with family, friends, share with those less fortunate! One of my favorite Thanksgiving Day Memories recall November 27, 2003, when I was invited for dinner at the San Francisco home of Eddie Alley to join he and his lovely family that included his dear brother, renowned bassist Vernon Alley - who always came home alone on Thanksgiving Day! Also a guest, my first introduction to developer Michael Johnson before the dirt was shoveled to start construction of the Fillmore Jazz Heritage Center! |
