Name: Webb, Dennis
Historical Note: Dennis Webb is the collector of this set of materials from jazz arrangers Charles Bickley and Young V. Harper. Webb is a retired engineer and manager, having worked on NASA’s Skylab, Space Shuttle, International Space Station, and Constellation programs at the Johnson Space Center in Houston, TX. He is co-author of the series of astronomy books, “Annals of the Deep Sky”. He is a self taught musician, starting on guitar as a teenager, and played bass for many years in a 20-piece big band of spaceworkers (still performing as the Space City Big Band), the reason he originally acquired these materials in 1982. He currently plays guitar and sings at the farmer’s market and select beer joints in Mansfield, TX; his repertoire includes several American Songbook standards he had played with the big band.
