Thelonious' Birthday

[Al in NYC]

Monk's birthday today.



All day, all Monk on WKCR.

Combined with Columbus Day it's like a 4 day weekend! (...or even more if you're Jewish).

I know how I'll be having my whiskey today.

Lift the bandstand, baby.

Must be why Monk's Mood has been in my head since having my first cuppa this morning.
Or maybe it was 'cuz I listened to the School Days lp this week.....

It's a good one.
As I was drinking my coffee outside the cafe, I was thinking of Rudd and that line from a review that said he sounds like he's tailgating off the back of a spaceship.

Nice line. Not many players "got" Monk like Rudd and Lacy did...
