95 Yrs. Ago

We are reminded today is Monk's birthday. Composer Thelonius, not his distant cuz Art the Washington WR.Factoid:
Monk is the second-most recorded jazz composer after Duke Ellington, which is particularly remarkable as Ellington composed over 1,000 songs while Monk wrote about 70.

I remember 1984.

Good year for Monk, but not a great postseason for the team.

I blame Orwell.

Also, the movie "Red Dawn."

Editor Orwell:
Ah, yes ... 1984.

What we played right after.

Dammit, I missed the opportunity to drink a 750ml bottle of this beer in his honor. I guess I'll just have to have a belated birthday beer today instead.

Our man Brick at the link sez Brother Thelonius is "bitter & dark. One of those Belgian things."
