morning...There was an interesting story on NPR this<br />morning, about Lester Young's impact on our<br />language ...<br /><br />It seems he was the first one to use the word<br />'cool' in the way we do now (when NOT talking<br />about ambient temperatures, that is) ... and<br />he was also the first to use the word 'bread'<br />to mean money. There was more, but those<br />are the two that caught my attention fully.<br /><br />He died 5 years before you were born,<br />so that's a pretty good reason he isn't on<br />your jazz-concerts-attended list, eh what?<br /><br />-- dhsh :D))Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
