I discovered that I really like French TV. Just now I am streaming a series called "The Wagner Method" on PBS Passport. My French language knowledge comes from a brief class I attended in college decades ago in order to pass a test but I find it challenging to follow along in French and puzzle out the dialogue. I find myself admiring the way French women dress and their relative lack of makeup! The Wagner Method is a fairly ordinary police drama but the scripts are quite witty, full of comic relief, and constantly tease with sexual goings-on.
Re his bass playing - I really like the run he plays on “The Story In Your Eyes”.
And while I don’t think his songwriting was nearly as good as Justin Hayward’s, “Ride My See Saw” is a banger
What you don't regard us as real people? Last I checked I actually am a real person who lives in the real world. And in that real world I communicate with other jazz fans on this board (whom I strongly suspect are real people too!). When we sell each other cd's they come in the mail in the real world and are real objects. Regarding us as internet phantoms who don't exist in the real world seems odd and very possibly disrespectful to me. As far as your feud with everybody in the in person 'real world' whose jazz expertise is inferior to yours - maybe it's time to take that chip off your shoulder.
