“‘Dirt it tough’ at Dartmouth: jah and shakespeare in the reagan irie”
Actually Peter OutLoud had a great story this week about the history of the tenderloin but he could’ve name checked “the hard crowd” by Rachel Kushner whose parents were introduced by Dartmouth beat poet alden van buskirk, her essay about being a bartender at the blue lamp…

Actually I was indirectly discussing this with Julian Shore the part about Henry Butler and Mulgrew Miller in France
Coinkydinky is a coined phrase one of the few coined phrases that literally uses the word “coin”
I was meaning to write this morning a post about the word “Negro” and the word (N-word) and the fact that between 1984 and 2018 they discovered 150 years of prior uses, that the word dates from 1550 not 1700 I’m referring to Webster’s ninth versus Webster’s 11th of course of course I took with noel Perrin or Peter Saccio At Dartmouth in the 80s — I took James Shapiro but it was Marley not Othello; Strike that it was Marlowe not Marley—DAM bully fool

Photographer John Rogers’ Book Debut Showcases Images of Acclaimed Improvisers Including Ornette Coleman, Paul Motian and Dr. Yusef Lateef Along with Pandemic-Era NYC Street Photography in Old and New Dreams
Old and New Dreams, is a striking document of veteran NYC music and street photographer John Rogers’ evolving vitality. In his first published collection of photography, Rogers draws from his fifteen-year, pre-pandemic live concert image catalog featuring master improvisers such as Ornette Coleman, Cecile McLorin Salvant, Paul Motian, Dr.Yusef Lateef, and Bill Frisell juxtaposed with the starkness of present-day New York City behind its pandemic mask.

Am I the only person to bring to your attention that a white supremacist or Nazi was allowed to speak to City Council last night under a fake name and used the opportunity to call out “n-word/plural” and say “F**** R****** E*********”?
1st time I met Will Bernard was on Telegraph in Berkeley. He was sitting in with Alphabet Soup, whose cd I had. I approached him to get their contact info and he said that no one in that set was actually in the band, they were all subs.
2nd time I met Will, his quartet opened for Medeski Martin and Wood at The Cubberley Community Center, July, 1996, which is 25 years ago, nearly 26.
45th or 46th time I met Will Bernard, he and Beth Custer played my music series at Lytton Plaza. We had Thai food after the show.
Today I get word that Will Bernard has released a new album, his 11th*. It’s called Pond Time. I listenened to two sampler tracks, “Lake of Greater Remnants” and “Four Is More” although I may not have gotten the full effect because I am in a cafe and they have their own music going. Actually, I heard three minutes of “Four is More” about three hours ago then a guy came to my table and wanted to talk to me — or us, me and Duffy, a dog on my lap — about the word or concept of “superfan”. So I just now heard the last minute or two of “Four is More” and then the 2nd song in entirety. Plus the background noise, or more background noise I should say.
This set has a horn section or a reeds player — I will skip my anecdote about he or them. Also, Will will be out west — he goes between Brooklyn and Berkeley — later this year with Jenny Scheinman. He also did something with TJ Kirk, a secret reunion in Berkeley recently. Not sure if I knew much about Monk before “TJ Kirk” — certainly I had never heard of Rashaan Roland Kirk.
This cd is on Dreck to Disk. Which dear reader can assume is a better label than Lions With Wings. Let’s all give a rouse or a roar for Mr. Bernard.
*All Music dot com lists 174 credits but some of those are redundant.
Gunn beat Paly in basketball last night because in the final possession, on the last touch of the game, in the final two seconds, Gunn senior Rogan Gibbons blew by three Vikings, numbers 22, 23 AND 24, to score a layup. Final score 33-31, Gunn’s first and only lead of the game.
Kind of reminds me of that old song “Hot Rod Lincoln”. Let’s call him “Hot Rod Rogan”. Or Hot Rog…Gibbons.
Worse than that: I gave his campaign $500 — the one response he gave me was to say that although many many people consider Pat Burt a bully, Pat has never bullied him!

Hi Mark,
As we discussed during the campaign, we both have different impressions of Pat. I have a history of working well with him and know him to be an effective advocate for similar issues that I support. And where I strongly believe that character matters with our elected officials, I have never observed Pat be prejudice or a bully. I respect you have a different opinion of him and this is not intended to dismiss your feelings. I hope you understand why I continue to support him.
Be well,
Greer

Rogan Gibbons beat his man to the baseline for a reverse layup as time expired to propel Gunn to a come from behind victory over Paly Its first win in the new gym, 33-31. Gunn’s tenacious defense held Paly scoreless the final five minutes including three turnovers and five missed shots. First Gunn win versus Paly since 2016.ons beats Lucas Black and Mert Yanar for the decisive bucket Rogan Gibb
Clutch free-throw by number 51 who was also a stalwart on defense. I don’t know his name but if the titans win out their final three they have an outside chance to reach 20 wins only the seventh time in school history. That is the third buzzer beater I’ve seen in gunn versus Paly. 1980 at Paly Marc Ford From the corner 20 feet — gunn’s only league loss. 2008 Joseph Lin from 25 feet, extending Gunns agony one more year; and now Rogan Gibbons history will remember his name.
Gunn beats Palo Alto for only Third time in last 18 season. Redfield once, Williams twice. My coach Hans was 3-1 vs Paly for Gunn, and 47-8 overall. Brandynn 123 wins for Gunn; Redfield 106;
