Hi, My last post has nothing to do with this group. It was meant for stretch fusion.

I have a payment pending for £14.95 for stretch fusion. I already bought my band, do what the heck is this for? I didn’t sign up for any subscription. I am so fed up with this kind of nonsense. I feel ripped off.

January 18, 2026 (Tokyo, Japan) - This is an excerpt from jazz singer Harvey Thompson's biography. Harvey shared this with me while writing his biography and so I decided to put a clip up of The "Fabulous" Jo Thompson singing a tribute to Lena Horne. Here is the excerpt from Harvey's book: "One of Harvey's most intimate and memorable experiences came during a trip to New York to visit his brother Johnny and attend to personal matters. After spending an evening at Dizzy's Club with Johnny, sharing a bottle of wine and taking in the show, Harvey traveled by bus to the suburbs the next day to visit Jo Thompson at the nursing home where she was living. When he arrived and asked to see her, Jo came down to the lobby a short while later. They went over to the piano, where Jo played and Harvey sang. He believes it was either "Our Love Is Here to Stay" or Nat King Cole's "Love," though he can't recall with certainty. If it was "Our Love Is Here to Stay," there was a genuine intimate moment shared between them: George Gershwin's final composition before his death in 1937, now shared between two friends. It was an unadorned, precious moment: Jo in casual clothes without makeup, Harvey beside her, two artists sharing music one last time. Harvey would be among the last to "perform" with Jo Thompson, the "female Bobby Short", mother, grandmother, and beloved musical legend, before her death in March 2021 from COVID-19 complications. Tragically, her brother, Dr. Walter Thompson, died of COVID-19 three months before she did."

I think Harvey has a great voice and should be more widely known. Thank you for the invitation to join the group.
