15. Cool -- I love the Thelonious Monk anecdote Terry Adams told

Thu Apr 25, 2013, 07:32 PM

in the liner notes to a Monk album (can't remember which one at the moment).

He said he'd gone to see Monk live, and there was such demand that they seated some people in folding chairs along the side of the stage. When Monk walked out toward the piano, Adams called out to him, "Hey Monk! What's happening?"

Thelonious turned around and said, "Everything's happenin' everywhere all the time!" Then he took a couple of steps, wheeled around, snapped his fingers on both hands, and added, "Every googleplexth of a second!"
