Dizzy Gillespie
According to The Writer's Almanac, today's the birthday of jazz trumpeter Dizzy Gillespie, born in our former home state of South Carolina (in 1917). Having a notoriously tin ear myself, I very much appreciated his take on music, "I don't care too much about music," he said. "What I like is sounds."
