[ExI] AI poker

[William Flynn Wallace]

These are the only two saxophonists that come to mind? What about all the
great black jazz players?

De Gustibus:  I don't like most jazz (Brubeck is a huge exception, and he
was classically trained and did some classical composing) and I don't like
the sound of the sax unless it's very very mellow.  I don't even like most
Mozart or Beethoven or Bach, but what I do like I just love to death.  I
was born picky.  Being black has nothing to do with it, I assure you.
There's just not a lot of black classical composers.  Big band jazz is OK -
I would not turn off the radio if it was on, but I have no CDs of it among
my 1200 collection.  Bluegrass is good.  Try the AUstin Lounge Lizards for
a hoot (bunch of lawyers and crazy lyrics  "I fled with my pflogger from
Pfleugerville")

I like no  pop music aside from a few in the 70s.  I really wish I did like
more of all kinds of music, but I just don't.  No prejudice involved.  Most
people would call me a snob, but there's no elitism in it - I am just
picky.  Who can help that?
