Ellington ReflectionsPortrait of Mercer Ellington, Part II (Podcast #24-004)
“[Duke Ellington] has set forth a restlessness, a music that has made for progress over three decades. Devoting myself to the things he has come to represent, doing what I can to enlarge on such a solid basis, I fell that I can perpetuate ‘the tradition,’ and eventually find myself.” – Mercer Ellington, 1958

I Think This Is Great! with Clay N. FernoWeWork is BrokenMy girlfriend, Stacey, would be surprised (and delighted) to know that I was not responsible for breaking this particular coffee mug.
She recently told me that she expects at least one thing to be broken while she goes away (which she does often). “Well, Fuck You!” I think I said (which I most certainly didn’t). Fair enough. I never started that punk band “Accident Prone” after drawing many anarchy “circle A” logos, complete with a charged-up punk with a broken leg braced up and in full leather. Let me tell you about my stage broken leg sometime. I guess I did...2023-12-1112 min

Heck, they even start one song off in a co...2023-10-301h 37
