Jeffry Eckels, who played bass on my dad Dave Zoller's Thelonious Monk album EVIDENCE, died today. A wonderful player, hell of a nice guy. Dad is devastated. We had a drink in his honor.https://youtu.be/3VHWhaUMCuU?t=373 …

Great news: yesterday, for the first time in four months, my dad ate solid food. Three sausages, a piece of fried chicken, and a bowl of Ben & Jerry’s Cherry Garcia ice cream. Here’s a video of him eating and talking to his girlfriend Liz.pic.twitter.com/g3WtyuKjQJ

Had a little scare this evening when my dad got a little too into his salmon steak and mashed potatoes and choked a bit. But then he rallied and attacked it like Jaws tearing apart the Orca.

No suspense movie in history is more exciting than watching my 79-year old esophageal cancer patient dad working his way through a big plate of food.

Dad's reading the New York Times from start to finish, his daily ritual. Will cook him some eggs soon. Asked him what music he wanted to listen to. "Everybody Digs Bill Evans," he said.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yGh3_hAfeXo …

"This is an album from early in his career," Dad says. "Bill Evans's style changed a bit after this. He left more space between his phrases later on."

Your honor, let the record reflect that my dad ate a pot cookie and proceeded to sleep for six hours with a smile on his face.

Update: Dad was specifically instructed not to eat an entire pot cookie, but he insisted, and let’s just say that it made him very happy. He had a smile on his face for a full day.
