Somebody (maybe here?) mentioned once that Ben Sidran boasted that "Nardis is Sidran spellec backwards", and of course it is, but apprently Sidran was saying that Miles wrote the tune for him or some such, and of course, ha ha ha. But nobody's ever put forth a credible explanation of what the name might otherwise mean. So, tonight, I see this: and I figure, ok, I'll bite, hand me the internet. Found this article http://flashbackdallas.com/2014/04/03/nardis-of-dallas/and this quote: Apparently, Nardis of Dallas was pretty high-end shit, a known quantity, no slouches. Can't tell if they had a men's line or not, but no matter. Miles knew fashion well enough, and I wager that the odds of him knowing the name "Nardis" in that regard are better than the odds of him not. Maybe even Miles knew the company owner or their NYC rep personally. Who knows? But at least the Nardis/Sidran/Miles thing makes a little more sense now. Maybe. Now, pivot to Zapruder... It's complicated, but there's a pretty in-depth connection there, regardless of any conspiracy theory theories, and they are documented here: http://quixoticjoust.blogspot.com/2011/06/close-up-of-abe-zapruders-employer.html So there. Nardis does appear to have made nice stuff though, for real. etc.
