You got it. Trump is America’s mad King George.

Trump also said that he would stop the war against Ukraine on day one. It’s been 159 days. And counting.

Sore subject. I’ve ranted about this before. Only one product in my medicine cabinet, an antibiotic cream, is manufactured in the U.S.—in Bronx, NY. Others are made in India, England, Taiwan, Germany, Israel, and Canada. Maybe elsewhere too. But we have to buy through U.S. distributors and licensees

Very distinguished.
In case you read these messages, I meant to tell you how much I enjoyed your cruise ship article. I was on a 501(c)(3) cruise in February 2024, and I came to the same conclusion: It was populated by a wealthy cruise ship cult. I will never go on a cruise again.

It’s all true. I had more to write, but I had to trim the message due to word count. Such as that it’s impossible to understand or actually appreciate Irabagon’s music without getting his sense of humor. Too much jazz writing is dry. You went further and profiled his personality. There’s more.

Brian Bromberg’s well-written and insightful article stays in my mind. I also like your sly humor that appreciates Jon Irabagon’s “gallows humor” and slips in puns like “way out West” in Mark Turner’s review. You really listen and refer to meters and theory. Downbeat need your West Coast balance.
