Thanks for this, Robert

Guess what I'm digging out to listen to this evening?

Thank you, Larry. Indeed, the family is an important part of the Memphis music story, including Sam Phillips and Sun Records.

Loved this! I listened to in your post and am now hooked! A couple of tunes remind me of The Vince Guaraldi Trio which is a favourite of mine. This was a great post! Thanks for introducing We Three to me!
