What do you do after you have left the stage after the final curtain call of your last Movie or Play? You have poured your heart into the performance. You have endured the exposure to the critics and the cheerleaders. You have relinquished your part to the next headliner.

Or at least an attempt at humor. Locals always get a kick out of a non-native when they mispronounce places or people names. Despite the fact that there is a whole system of symbols and codes to help the unlearned among us, many people continue to mispronounce words based on reading only.

It has been said that you need to have lived the blues to sing the blues. I am not sure I agree with that but when it comes to Jazz, I do think you have to live it to play and sing it. Al Jarreau did just that.
