Most of these names can be explained (and posted) by anyone who has
Society Pages magazines (I have them, but not the patience to go through
and type it in, sorry), but I'll put in what little I know.

That's about it from me. If no one posts more extensive explanations by
Monday (my day off), maybe I'll dust off the old SP issues and post 'em.
Although, having not checked out the FAQ's thoroughly yet, I would
imagine there would be quite a bit of this info in there.

Probably the greatest living Chicago Blues musician. I saw Buddy Guy
at the Strand the night before last. Absolutely brilliant. Before the
show, I was waiting out front with a friend and witnessed the club
owner trying to put the moves on a young lady with the line "Yeah, he
taught Hendrix how to play." Buddy played everything that night from
Hoochie Koochie Man to Voodoo Chile and Strange Brew. He did not come
off as "arrogant" at all, he seemed quite humble and full of positive
energy. Strict adherence to the blues usually bores me, but Buddy is
the epitome of soul, don't miss his current tour.

As Stravinsky's confidante, he was able to document the details of his
thoughts and experiences so Igor could just compose.

I think he's usually pigeon-holed as an "Impressionist", probably
because of his habit of turning around on the podium and saying,
"Judy, Judy, Judy..." to the audience after each movement.

Beg your pardon, I was thinking of Billy Taylor. Cecil Taylor

(beyond an appearance on Marian McPartland's "Piano Jazz"

Who was Pepys then? Was he the really tiny mouse that sometimes played
sidekick to Topo Gigio on the Ed Sullivan show?
