The musical video "Dave & Aldon" features saxophonist Dave Grilly and trumpeter Aldon Lee working as street musicians in front of Chicago's Water Tower on a Sunday in the summer of 1994. The featured tunes are Dizzy Gillespie's Groovin' High and A Night in Tunisia. That day we made our highest earnings ever as street musicians. In just fours hours we collected a total of $27.35. That gave us $13.67 a piece which came to $3.15 an hour. That's how our country appreciates degreed musicians. After I got my degree in music I was encouraged by my school's job placement job office to go into computer programming. My many thanks to Roosevelt University. They helped me develop into a systems analyst with great saxophone chops
