Hi Simon,
Just to let you know that I've made a floor plan of the apartment which I'll bring a long tonight for Jamie.

My biography:
Name: Marty Kaye
Age 54 Born 1903 in Queens NY.
Father worked for The Wall St. Journal
Mother - ex pro singer who became a wife and mother.

Married twice. Divorced twice. Children : 2 boys from first marriage (both musicians)

Profession Musician/Band leader
MK Big Band (jazz/swing)  Instrument: Saxophone (self taught)

Drafted in 1941 aged 38. 
Entertained the troops as the MK Army & Airforce Big Band.

After the war, continued as band leader .
Still an audience for Big Band music despite the rise of rock and roll !

The Judge (a big band fan !) selected me as the foreman because I'm used to managing a 12 piece jazz orchestra.

I don't mind being in the hot seat tonight !

Martyn
