He was a great basketball player. He was a greater person.

One of several stupid Times articles on technology today. My opinion also. Though I find it a bit strange that a newspaper would pimp technology when technology might very well lead to its demise.

I can't speak for Mr. Jones/Baraka, but I can guess that he felt that Wayne Shorter went only so far and decided to refine his playing style as it was, rather than searching for new avenues of music, as Trane and others did. Maybe if he had heard Wayne's playing at The Plugged Nickel he might have felt differently. Perhaps - but I don't think that Wayne stretched himself to other emotional levels on those recordings. I think that Jones/Baraka was writing about emotional and musical changes.

Plumbers can be surprising people. The fellow who does our plumbing worked security at Levon Helm's Midnight Rambles and traveled with Levon's Band to weekend concerts. He hooked up with Levon when he installed a bathroom in Mr. Helm's barn/recording studio.

Better still: It is even WRITTEN "fort" (and is proncounced "for"). As long as you are referring to a MALE person, of course. "forte" as a word all by itself in French only exists in the sense of a MUSICAL "forte" (i.e. loudness too) As for your pronunciation, never mind if it is "for-tay" or "for-tee", but if somebody would like to point out, for example, that "spelling is not my strong point", do you actually expect him to state something that sounds like "spelling is not my fortified 19th century Far West soldier outpost"? C'mon ... No, seriously, except in certain female variants of the word that means "strong" in all shadings (including a strong = loud voice) the French language has no such "forte" as you imply. I don't know about French, but my dictionary - Merriam-Webster's Collegiate - gives the first pronunciation of forte as fort. It says that for-tay is also used. My wife corrected me some years ago when I said for-tay, and I've said fort ever since. I sometimes get the feeling that people think it's pretentious or just plain wrong, but I don't care. Here's a common one - Febuary.
