Hello- Thanks for all the work on your lovely site!
I am curious to know more about Mr. Parker's children. What happened to Baird? Is his first son still alive? What was their life like in the shadow of a legendary father?
Thanks! |

Terrific site...could you add anything about Parker's scrapping abilities ? Did he like fighting ? Did he start on people in bars ? Did he ever get knocked out ?
Keep up the good work ! |

it goes without saying the greatest jazz musician, maybe the best of any genre. bird lives. As bob marley sang like three little birds on my doorstep singing sweet songs with melodies pure and true......He is the best sax player of all time and there will never be another bird. dan |

he gave so much to humanity, his voice for me its like the birds in the sky, the rustling leaves from a breeze in the summer months, the mildew rain droplets on a blossoming flower.
thou art as great and at times even greater than the very best of the classical great. for me, you are the first the last and everything on this instrument, the alto should have your name inscribed on it because you are 'it'. |

I could say a lot of things that so many people have said before. I could say some typical cliche thing and try to be hip. I could go on about my favorite Bird songs and how they have influenced me and the world. But that doesn't really sum it all up.But I can say I love Bird. He's in my heart. He's yours too. I hope you know that. Whoever you may be.
God Bless you and rest you Bird. |

at my primary school they never taught us about the ellingtons, armstrongs or dizzy miles or charles 'bird' parker. today after more than 15yrs having slowly found out my own way, bird along with them all remains with me, i will forever cherish and remember this man. i only wished at school they enver hid the truth, i hope that tomorrow bird and jazz musicians and the noble people are mentioned first. my mozart, bach and beethoven is dizzy, bird and all of them like this. thankyou sirs. for all time, you made my hear and my lfie much more compelte and happier. for all time, love u guys.! if i ever play music, you come to my mind and spirit first. |
