**Bosda** is _groovin’_, BABY!

Enjoyin’ my new copy of _Dizzy For President_.  
A nice album, first recorded at the Monterey Jazz Fest in 63.

Sadly, the first 3 minutes of “Dizzy Atmosphere” were edited out for poor recording quality, but the rest remains, including stage jokes.

Diz is Wiz, baby. 🆒
