Merle, Always a fan of Monk, here. I've named asteroids I've discovered for some of the members of Monk's quartet: Monk himself; and, Charlie Rouse, his tenor saxophonist. See my naming citations below. These namings are official and are published to the world by the International Astronomical Union, and they are recognized Solar-System-wide, if not wider. ;-) Citation for (11091) The following citation is from MPC 42672: (11091) Thelonious = 1994 DP Thelonious Sphere Monk (1917-1982), American composer and jazz pianist, born in Rocky Mount, North Carolina, moved to New York City at age 3 and took up the piano at age 5. Monk was central to the development of the bebop style and a great procreator of musical advances. Citation for (10426) The following citation is from MPC 57950: (10426) Charlierouse = 1999 BB27 Charles (Charlie) Rouse (1924-1988) was an American jazz tenor saxophonist, born in Washington, D.C. Recording first in 1947, he played in Thelonious Monk's quartet during 1959-1970, exemplifying the "modern" style steeped in bop that Monk stressed. His final recording was a Monk tribute. --Joe > Merle Lester <merlewiitpom@...> wrote: > > weekend entertainment..enjoy..merle
