Did you ever meet Bill Bennett, a friend out here who previously was very wrapped in the East Coast jazz community, worked on some big Smithsonian jazz project?
Ring any bells?

Hi Rich,
The name doesn’t ring a bell, but I see there is a Bill Bennett that writes (or has written) for Jazz Times magazine. I guess I must have missed him in my travels. I’d be interested in knowing what he did with the Smithsonian.
