I grew up with the burning desire to learn to play jazz. Living in a small town about 40 miles from St. Paul, I used to hear about Doc Evans from time to time. I didn't know much about him, but he did have his name in the paper once in a while, and he was said to be the best traditional jazz musician around. He belonged to that glamorous jazz world that I wanted to join.... Butch Thompson
