| Favorite music | I am now very interested in jazz, from 1920 through the 1960s. But when I first started this blog, I wrote: "Don't have any favorite music. It's completely random, what I might like and what I might not like. I think I like the sound of something as I drive by it, or as it drives by me. But I don't want to know what it is." This is no longer true. |
| Favorite books | Reading "Really the Blues" by Mezz Mezzrow, 1946. Before that a biography of artist Joseph Cornell. Previously I wrote: "Right now I'm reading "The Quaker City, or, The Monks of Monk Hall: A Romance of Philadelphia Life, Mystery, and Crime," by George Lippard, published in 1845. Very bizarre." |
All of the phone numbers have fallen out of your address book. Whose number do you look for first and why?
My sister's. It's an overseas number, and I can't remember it, so must refer to what I've written down. (NOTE added in 2020: This is now an archaic question. No one calls anyone on the phone anymore, let alone carries an "address book." HAHA)
