Three Wishes

More girl talk commenced where Nica was able to ask Dinah Washington what her three wishes would be if she was given them. Her reply was:

1. 1. “Honey, if I told you, you’d faint! Well, all right. I wish I had three little girls ~ triplets.”

   2. “Health and happiness for my two boys that I have. The last one is private.”

When asked what his three wishes would be, Chuck Wayne answered with:

1. 1. “The funny part is, I really… you know, frankly? I can’t think of any! Because frankly, I like things the way they are. I really don’t want to be rich, I love my wife, I have wonderful children, and I have a certain amount of security, which is substantial enough for me. I really don’t care for anything else. Between music and my wife and kids’ love, life is pretty good as it is. There are so few other things that count. Would a million dollars help me play a good chorus? Or give me more to the one I love?”

Once Nica questioned Milt Sealey about three wishes he replied with:

1. 1. “I wish I could be immortal in jazz. You know, go down with a nice name.”

   2. “I’d wish that my family ~ my wife, my child, and myself ~ would live a happy and healthy life.”

   3. “I wish that people… that I live to see the day when people will accept one another more humanly. As people, you know? Period. Well, that’s it. You know?”

In response to the question of three wishes by Baroness de Koenigswarter, Terry Gibbs told her the two he had:

1. 1. “I would like to have access to all the money I can have. I’d like to be a billionaire!”

   2. “I’d like to have my own club and play when I feel like playing.”

   3. “A million dollars. If I had all these I wouldn’t need to wish for anything for my wife and family, because they’d be covered and it would be Utopia.”
