With billows and blasts from choirs and orchesters
Buskers and talkers
Big bands and squawkers,
the Stork Club has retained its qualities of decaying elegance and dwindling significance since the late 1950s.

May 1, 2022: A Flute-Full Endeavor
An appreciation of the great flautist James Newton on his 69th birthday: from his solo recordings to his many collaborations, including with Anthony Davis, Abdul Wadud, David Murray, Arthur Blythe, John Carter, Chet Baker, and Chico Freeman. Leave a flute pun or three on the comments page. Oh, and hear the story of the garbage-hoarding crane-occupier of Münster.

A man who was sane went out on a crane
With a hoard of garbage to go
And did he ever come down, no he never came down
It's the cause of his renown
He will swing forever o'er the flats of Münster
He's the man who never came down

Heading out to meet the wife for a squint at the afternoon sun. Thank you, Storks, cranes, and other meshuggeneh avian types. Barkeep, another Glen Passaic for fred here! No, better make it three: put one to his left, one to his right, and one ("the centerist") directly in front of him.
