I could not detect the quote. If he had not used that silly mute, I might have. The curse of Miles. Muddy even drowned him out. The performance does show how Jazz and Blues can meld seamlessly. I am well. How are things in the Big Apple? The Governor here in Texas offered me a free bus ticket if I would move there. What a guy! Cheers |

Mary Jo, I like it also. Had to look him up. From wiki: What is the meaning of Gnossienne? Noun. gnossienne (plural gnossiennes) (music, often capitalized) Any of several compositions having a dance-like quality. How old was Satie when he died? The French composer and pianist Erik Satie died at the age of 59 in Arcueil, a suburb of Paris. The cause of death was cirrhosis of the liver; Satie had long been a heavy drinker. Absinthe, which can have an alcohol content as a high as 74%, was his favorite. Did Erik Satie carry a hammer? In the habit: Satie was a man of habits: every day he walked the 10 miles from his house to work, stopping at cafès along the way. He always carried an umbrella, and he stowed a hammer beneath his coat to defend himself if necessary. Not a man to be trified with. Cheers
