Ahem!  (T) Monk is THE great piano players of the "cool" era.
Everyone else was just really, really, really good at best.
However, if you like Monk, seek out some Lennie Tristano; very
similar, very good.

Zzzzzzz.  Zzzzzzz.  Huh!?!? Who!?! Wha!?!?!?
explain the joke....explain the joke.....uuuhhhh....jeez, I'm not sure I can.  I
know
me 'n' CE discussed this slightly after I'd mentioned I'd just seen
Bob Dylan and Joni M (back in Oct./Nov. '98).  Maybe that's got something
to do with it.  I'm sorry I can't help any more than that, but I'm really not
well today.
I came to work anyways, but let's just say that eating breakfast this morning
turned out to be a pointless task.  Ugh!

I'm going home, curling up in my sock drawer and sleeping for days.

much later,
