Hey peoples, what’s going on with Larry Nugent these days? Heard he headed off into the drink and is off the scene. I’vew spent more time learning how to play flute from his CDs than anyone else’s, and I’m looking forward to another.
Who’s got news?
Glauber, my main Brazilian man in Chicago, you are in his adopted hometown, you must know! what’s up? obrigaddo!
G
That would sore news indeed G 
, I love his style of playing and while I don’t try specifically to emulate his style, it is one of great energy and inventiveness.
Cheers,
Love his playing, too. But maybe a public forum isn’t
the right place for this inquiry? Not that I know
anything, and we might unintentionally do somebody’s
reputation harm. ’
‘Is it really true what I’ve heard that Stone
is shtupping aardvarks?’
‘Well, I’m not sure about the aardvark.
Heard it was a platypus, named Monica…’
‘My god, what does his wife say?’
‘Didn’t you hear what I’ve heard she’s up to?
Why do you think he’s turned to beastiality
in the first place?’
‘You mean…’
‘Yes, the recorder…’

shtupping aardvarks 
Jim, for a goyishe kop you’re a funny guy.
Can we just say that he’s been having a hard time and leave it at that, please? I don’t have very up to date news and if anyone has good news I’d love to hear it. But I’m not going public on what I have heard; this isn’t the appropriate place and I’m not an appropriate mouthpiece.
Hearing Lawrence Nugent on 'Wooden Flute Obsession" inspired me to take up the flute and place an order with Casey Burns for a beginner flute on the advice of this board (thanks people, I’m having lots of fun with it- along with beginners frustration).
Best of luck to Nugent, and may we hear from him soon.
Larry’s just fine. He’s been performing around with a number of people. I asked him a little over a week ago when his next CD was coming out, and he said likely in about another year.
BTW, ciberspiff, Jim ain’t exactly a goyishe kop. This shegetz oughta know. 
Laurence is the man, hardly anyone I’d rather listen to G. - I’ve been itching to hear more from him as well.

I never saw the aardvark before.
I didn’t know her name…
Nu, vi kenst du dos ton, azoi vi a shegetz? Vie die shkotzim! 
Well, I hope he does. I love his arrangements.
No worries, Stone. This IS the forum to talk about these things, even hardship.
OT: Anyone been following that Cannibal case in Germany? Oh my, oh my. But assuredly, this is definitely not the forum to discuss THAT.
G
I disagree. This isn’t the forum to discuss (and thereby spread) rumours about the personal lives of musicians, even if the rumours are well-founded. Why isn’t a subtle hint enough to explain the absence of product and put an end to public speculation? Must we going degenerate to the level of tabloid press journalism and deprive our finest artists of their privacy?
The lack of a CD for a few years should hardly be cause for alarm anyway, however much we feel deprived. Some of the greatest exponents of the music make about one CD a decade and some don’t record at all.
All this notwithstanding, the good news Nano reports is very welcome.
Why can’t we talk about cannibals? Don’t we taste like pork, supposedly?

This is why I got excommunicated from the
Church. After they explained transubstantiation
to me, I kept asking for seconds at communion.
I repeat that I did not know
the aardvark’s name.
There was no platypus.
Also I want to say something about
giraffes. It’s been said that I have
a ‘thing’ for giraffes. I deny that. Here’s
the truth: I sometimes play my flute
for the animals at the zoo.
And when I do, the animals at the
zoo couldn’t care less. Except
for the giraffes. They troop across the giraffe
enclosure and stand with their heads drooped
over the fence, listening raptly.
Fans, not groupies.
Okay, okay, so I throw in a word of Yiddish here and there like a bloomin’ wannabe…translation, please? taps foot 
Nope. Chicken.
Gordon
eeeeeeeeeeeeeeew!
That’s what my mother used to say to me when I misbehaved. Rough translation is:
“So, you’re going to behave like a gentile boy? You might as well be gentile!”
No insult intended here of course. I was first generation American, so we spoke a lot of Yiddish at home and this was how she talked.
Sorry for the OT stuff folks. And now we return you to your original thread 
I was second generation. They used Yiddish on the
phone when they were gossiping, so we wouldn’t
know what they were saying. I wish I’d learned
more of it. We were supposed to be
Americans, and I think they succeeded in this
more than they intended. Some of these Yiddish writers,
like Isaac Bashevis Singer, are among my
favorites. Saul Bellow, who writes in English but
whose view of things comes from something like the world
in which I grew up, except Chicago and
earlier, is, for me, a great writer.
Bellow translated Singer’s masterpiece,
the short story Gimpel the Fool, from Yiddish
into English. Best
P.S. Read my lips: No Platypus!
