explains why I never heard of him (and unapologetically didn't hear out the piece). I just clicked to find out his name. Give me a pass on this, you much esteemed human!

*** It's been one of my Eternal Quandaries, how magnificent artists can create magnificent stuff while being human excrement - Richard WAGNER an outright proto-Nazi, CHOPIN a wreck and wrecker of anybody he came in contact with, PICASSO and untold many others.

Not casting asparagus on Arturo SANDOVAL here since I know nothing personal about him, his apparent jazz prediliction being enough for my castigating.

Nothing to offend you, whom I have long appreciated, just my small mindedness on something not having to do with you!
