That table immediately to his left was mine whenever I went to the NO and this gracious guy was the best. Slyly said he hated doing the bird calls, and that he didn't get a dime from all the re-released LP/CDs... He told me he had to go into the hospital the last week I saw him, and he didn't win that battle, but I got a nice recording of that final performance to always remind what a special man he was. A friend who loves him followed up on Atta's suggestion to bring a list of requests the next time they visited and surprised him by printing and presenting a list so long it rolled out like giant toilet paper across the floor, Atta's jaw dropped! He actually played a couple of them.
