RIP Yogi

Yogi Berra gone at 90.
 
One of the greatest catchers in history, but will perhaps be most remembered for his Yogi-isms:

 In order, then, to discover the limit of deepest tones, it is necessary not only to produce very violent agitations in the air but to give these the form of simple pendular vibrations. - Hermann von Helmholtz, predicting the role of the electric bassist in 1877.

Yogi Berra, he was a horse of a different story.

Wow...  Sad. 
 
Here's a good one about Yogi explaining what Jazz is:
 
Interviewer: Can you explain Jazz?
 
Yogi: I can't, but I will. 90% of all Jazz is half improvisation. The other half is the part people play while others are playing something they never played with anyone who played that part. So if you play the wrong part, its right. If you play the right part, it might be right if you play it wrong enough. But if you play it too right, it's wrong.
 
Interviewer: I don't understand.
 
Yogi: Anyone who understands Jazz knows that you can't understand it. It's too complicated. That's what's so simple about it.
 
Interviewer: Do you understand it?
 
Yogi: No. That's why I can explain it. If I understood it, I wouldn't know anything about it.
 
Interviewer: Are there any great Jazz players alive today?
 
Yogi: No. All the great Jazz players alive today are dead. Except for the ones that are still alive. But so many of them are dead, that the ones that are still alive are dying to be like the ones that are dead.
 
Interviewer: What is syncopation?
 
Yogi: That's when the note that you should hear now happens either before or after you hear it. In Jazz, you don't hear notes when they happen because that would be some other type of music. Other types of music can be Jazz, but only if they're the same as something different from those other kinds.
 
Interviewer: Now I really don't understand.
 
Yogi: I haven't taught you enough for you to not understand Jazz that well.

And here I always thought syncopation was when you needed to eat more bran.

Hi,
 
I was thinking that description of jazz fits "Progressive" a lot better ... but what the heck!
 
I think it was either Gifford or someone else, that someone said to get Yogi, and he said, that they couldn't, because they would end up laughing so hard, they would forget about the game!

Music is not about notes and chords! My poem is not about the computer or monitor or letters! It's about how I was able to translate it from my insides!
