I'm listening to it right now...

No, I am not related to these people (to my knowlege....lol)
But for me conducting this interview, it was like a catharisis for me on a
personal level.

Man...it's like the...

"mother of all interviews"

I told Vince Wilborn, that this interview was gonna be RAW.
I wanted to get his thoughts, in his voice, completely unedited.
(and that is EXACTLY what happened)

lol

If you liked my Freddie Stone interview, you will like this one more
Not only did I get to interview Vince Wilborn, but also his father (Miles
brother in law), Miles daughter, Miles grandson, their attorney...

PLUS

I'm interviewing Vince
Then the phone rigs
one comes in
Phone rings again
another person comes in
and again and again

It's 90 min. of...

PLUS during the interview, Vince was playing some off tha hook "electric
miles" material that I had never heard before at low volume
You can hear it in the backround during the interview

Hell....Lenny White said he had never heard it before.

It was "sureal"...
I was sitting in a room full of people most of whom in some way looked like
Miles Davis and having this discussion.
(it felt like he was there)

I'll have it up on Soul-Patrol.net in a few days.

"Some people thought that Miles was an enigma, I would suggest that those
people are wrong, I would suggest that those people just don't get it..."
