It was 2 years ago around this time that I lost my father, Joe Killian. He was 86 years old and was a great inspiration to me. His love of music and performing gave me a great sense of joy growing up. In fact, it was his mission to make everyone happy through music. That’s a valuable lesson that I carry to this day.
Here’s a tune from the past that I’d like to share with everyone.
Jimmy Ford, alto saxophone; Joe Killian, Hammond organ; Ben Turner, drums
Recorded in Houston, TX 1965
