Bill, I had the same initial interpretation from Mark Potter's post.
However, after thinking about it, I'm going with David Renaud's version
this time -- the stretching part in particular rings a familiar bell.
Speaking of jazz, just who -did- tune for Vince Geraldi (sp) anyway? I've
often wondered if the occasional 'wolf' unisons were intentional or if he
just liked that/those notes a lot and beat 'em down. It seems to be common
to all his recordings.
