Philip J. Geezer, a man who helped shape Manhattan, looking as neat and minimal as his buildings -

That's Joni Mitchell nowadays?! Dang, I've gotten old. Still have 1 pf her LP's I picked up in the early 70's when I was a young buck.

LOL! You should see Joan Baez. She's 80.

Samuel Becket

A great writer. I've always been amazed at the fact that his first three novels were written in French. He lived for some time in France, especially in Rousillon in WWII, where he was avoiding the Nazis during the German Occupation. A remarkable voice, and one distinctly identified with the 20th century.

Thanks, Stephen. As a cricket player for my own school and university (right arm off-spin bowler and mediocre tail-end batsman, LOL), I am delighted to know this, although I have a faint memory of someone else mentioning it to me. It's wonderful that Beckett maintained his interest in the game. I continue to watch cricket on the Willow HD channel here. I have all four volumes of his collected letters in my library.

I never played even to that level. I was SLA and a middle-order slogger - and a fearless short fielder. I stopped watching Willow once they started charging and now it's either ESPN+ or highlights on YouTube.
