- very expressive clowns: I have mused that many Free players have deep backgrounds in Roots musics - R&B, Soul, Gospel - but there are academics among them as well...

I was being slightly flippant, rather than dismissive. I will repeat. I like it. And it is sad that Ornette has passed.

Mrs. Parq and I had morning-coffee conversation over whether Lee would be mentioned in the news as Dracula or Saruman. I checked about four articles. All were quick to mention Saruman, but all led with Dracula.

Oh, son of a bitch, that's too bad about Lee. My favorite role of his was the leader of a gay motorcycle gang in the movie Serial.
