As a music fan, I sometimes feel the strange compulsion to say what I know about music--to no one. Earlier this month, I was taking a nap when "Kathy's Waltz" by Dave Brubeck started playing on KWMU. Even though I was half-asleep, I said out loud, "That's the warm, familiar saxophone playing of Paul Desmond."
Actually, I might not have said that to no one. My cat, Collette, might have been within earshot. If so, I hope my positive review of Desmond's playing impressed her; maybe, one day, instead of just sitting on the LPs, she'll be moved to play Brubeck's "Time Out" album.
