The Art Snob Will Stand Back From

Clutter Is What Happens To Things When They Become Useless But Friendly.

Improvisation Was The Blood And Bone Of Jazz, And In The Classic, New Orleans Jazz It Was Collective Improvisation In Which Each Performer, Seemingly Going His Own Melodic Way, Played In Harmony, Dissonance, Or Counterpoint With The Improvisations Of His Colleagues. Quite Unlike Ragtime, Which Was Written Down In Many Cases By Its Composers And Could Be Repeated Note For Note (if Not Expression For Expression) By Others, Jazz Was A Performer's Not A Composer's Art.

If You Can't Ignore An Insult, Top It; If You Can't Top It, Laugh It Off; And If You Can't Laugh It Off, It's Probably Deserved.

Sure, I've Seen People Like You Before - But I Had To Pay An Admission.

I'm Sorry, I'm A Little Busy. Can I Ignore You Later?
