Long segment the high school for the arts, where I taught and my niece and two nephews also went. Killer school. I'm sure it gave Roy a good platform from which to work. Nice docu, thanks! _________________ "If you don't live it, it won't come out of your horn." Bird

A couple of weeks ago, Booker T. Washington HSPVA held a tribute to Roy that featured various classmates and friends such as Erykah Badu. They played a clip of this documentary where his Grandmother talks about him as a young child.
I was in Jr. High in DISD when Roy was at BTWHSPVA. Everyone knew who he was even at that age. Many of us, myself included, wanted to play like him. My dad used to sub for Bart Marantz on occasion and talked about how talented Roy was back then. One of my favorite recordings was the band's 1988 recording from Roy's Senior year in HS. I wonder if they'll find a way to re-release it. _________________ Jim New S5 M and MS with C Backbore
