graduation non-speakers

[Michael Sylvester]

Last year a univerity in my area had a famous black saxophonist
(Noble Thin Man Watts) play his piece for the grauating class.
He delivered no speech and students enjoyed this format.He grew up
around the university area,but he played with some Jazz and Blues
greats. He received an honorary degree from the university.
