"Yeah, but it's been a great gig."
What Dizzy Gillespie said when the 4-year-old daughter of a friend asked him if he was dying about 10 days before he did.
I love that story from "Dizzy: The Life and Times of John Birks Gillespie" by Donald Maggin, a book I can recommend, although it could have used a discography.

I wonder if I can be so eloquent when the time comes?

Janet. I was thinking I might steal Dizzy's line, I just don't want to have to use it anytime soon.
