Sonny Rollins, September 15, 2001: “Maybe music can help. I don't know, but we have to try something these days, right?” We did, and still do. Here is an imperfect gesture toward better days: “Nuages” (Django Reinhardt) and “Georgia on My Mind” (Hoagy Carmichael–Stuart Gorrell).
YouTube also has us playing “In a Mizz” (Charlie Barnet–Haven Johnson). Surely someone out there must remember that tune from Citizen Kane (the party scene in Florida).

Thank you, Elaine and Michael, for spreading joy with your music and thoughtfulness.
I didn't know Django's piece; nice surprise.
That was so neat.
Delightful!
I am loving you two's concerts.
Thank you.
Thanks, everyone, for your appreciation. We will keep going.
Yes, please do. It would be hard to list all of the ways your fireside flats (and sharps) are wonderful. (Forgive the Fireside Flat joke. I thought I could do better, but the rhymes weren't there. Once you start a gesture, Updike suggests, it's fatal not to go through with it.)
Some of those sharps and flats may be accidental(s).
