| Title | Bird' Grave--Tenor and All |
| Abstract | Brief item calling for the replacement of Charlie "Bird" Parker's headstone in Lincoln Cemetery in Kansas City. According to the author, the headstone "embarrasses our city" by displaying a tenor saxophone instead of an alto saxophone, the instrument on which Parker was a pioneer. |
