Aside from being a great performer on many levels Bill White was a great human being. I loved the times in the dressing room during the show Satchmo. He and Leroy Cooper would hold court, man the stories they would tell. A real treasure. I'm glad I had the opportunity to know and work with him.To the White family, may you have peace in this time.##imported-begin##Kenny Walker##imported-end##
