Might as well post this since Jonathan's come up in the thread a few times.

Is Jonathan playing an ATC Barney Kessel on there ?

I am not Bop Head any more. I am Boss Man Zwiebelsohn now (which is my new stage name) and I am currently in the process of recruiting musicians for a band that will be called The Ghost Riders. The first member is a young drummer who went to Berklee and plays like John Bonham, no bullshit. Nobody can play the Eric Claton version of Knocking On Heaven's Door as slowly as we do. Which in turn gives me as a singer incredible freedom in phrasing.

Since I simply haven't had a chance to practice Bebop Heads in the last few months because I've been busy with other musical things the whole time (which, in retrospect, have brought me light years ahead), I've decided to say goodbye to the name Bop Head and asked Dirk to change my name here to my new stage name.

Well, too bad. At least 'Bop Head' gave it a feel of some kind of sanity ))

I have to admit that recently I have been using Deepl and Google Translate quite a bit as a band aid.

Truer words have not been spoken.

In this world going more and more mad I feel more sane than ever.

I know what I want, I know what I can do and what not (yet). After all, I recently learned the changes to Girl From Ipanema and Black Orpheus on the bandstand. And the booking is slowly rolling in. The next step, as I said, is the band. Since my wallet and everything in it miraculously turned up in my mailbox a week later, I also have the business card of this Brazilian bassist back. And I will also manage to get the contact details of this African keyboard player -- I think his name is Jimmy D (or Dee?). The first time I met him he brought a Keytar and a pedal board a the blues session.

Well maybe it's me, but they sound like they've never heard any other rendition of Sweet Georgia Brown and are playing it from a lead sheet. I mean, it just doesn't sound musical? I admit I didn't get past the first minute for that reason.
