Bobby Hackett, the cornetist whose mellow tone and graceful style made him a favorite of both jazz and pop music audiences.

Whitney Balliett described Bobby Hackett in The New Yorker as "a unique and extremely successful alloy of Beiderbecke and Armstrong."

"His tone." Mr. Balliett wrote "which is quiet and shining, resembles Beiderbecke's and so does his three-steps-up, two steps down method of improvising. But his sustained notes and way of playing just behind the beat and of occasionally slipping into double time are straight out of Louis Armstrong."

Born in Providence, R.I. Bobby Hackett began his music career by studying the violin but switched to the trumpet and later to the cornet. He began playing professionally while in his teens and was soon appearing with some of the best known names of the "Big Band Era."

Bobby Hackett appeared with Benny Goodman, Louis Armstrong, Glenn Miller and Paul Whiteman among others.

"Music should be pretty," he said. "You should hear and recognize the melody. And real greatness is in the simplicity. Simple things are the hardest to play and the easiest to listen to."

Here is Bobby Hackett on the cornet playing some music that is very "easy to listen to" .....

The weekend has finally arrived!  College football today, and NFL football tomorrow!  My favorite time of the year!  Here's a joke for all of our football fans out there:

Three Texans, Slim, Billy-Bob and Bubba died and went to heaven.  At the pearly gates, they were met by St. Peter, who explained that although it was late and God had retired for the evening, he had asked Albert Einstein to show them around so they wouldn't get bored before they met God in the morning.

After Einstein had introduced himself to Slim, he asked, "By the way, Slim, what was your IQ when you were alive?"

"159", said Slim.

"Great!", said Einstein. We'll discuss my general theory of relativity and maybe a little unified field theory as I show you around."

"What an exciting opportunity!", said Slim.

Einstein then introduced himself to Billy-Bob, and when he was done he said, "Tell me, Billy-Bob - what was your IQ when you were alive?"

"141", said Billy-Bob.

"Good," said Einstein. "If you'd like, we can discuss a little mathematics and philosophy as I point out the heavenly sights."

"Nothing I'd like better!" was Billy-Bob's reply.

After Einstein had introduced himself to Bubba, he asked, "What was your IQ when you were alive, Bubba?" 

"58" said Bubba.

Punching him on the arm, Einstein said, "Hey, Bubba - How 'bout them Cowboys!"

Bible Verse Of The Day - Saturday, 11/20/2010

At daybreak Jesus went out to a solitary place. The people were looking for him and when they came to where he was, they tried to keep him from leaving them. But he said, “I must preach the good news of the kingdom of God to the other towns also, because that is why I was sent.” And he kept on preaching in the synagogues of Judea. – Luke 4:42-44

When we come to Christ we all have agendas. We see the goodness of Jesus and we look for Him. Then we want to live in those experiences and have our needs met. But Jesus was sent to bring the good news to other places and peoples.

When we have experienced the goodness of God, don’t be surprised when that goodness takes us beyond our comfort zones and into a waiting world. God’s heart is to propel you and I into our workplaces and communities, proclaiming the good news of the Kingdom through our words and deeds.

Today’s commentary by Dave Whitehead, Senior Pastor, GraceNYC.org
