DESCRIPTIVE NOTES has new additions: See Entry No. 3 : MEMENTO SUITE, issued in 2022; Entry No. 4: Johnny Case and his Texas Swingtet featuring Billy Briggs, issued in 2016; Entry No. 5: LAST NITES by Johnny Case (solo piano recorded live at Sardines Ristorante Italiano). This was recorded September 19, 2001 - one week and one day after the September 11 attack on the World Trade Center. My notes, dated November 2001, address the circumstances which led me to make this record and how an unsavory business alliance brought about the demise of the original Sardines.
