Dave Brubeck is right!

 

If Boots Randolph is correct, can I have a star?

 

A star, you ask? How about a galaxy!

 

I’ll take it!

 

Ahhh..."Zoot Suit" + Sims...Zoot Sims!

 

I dated myself on that one! I remember “ZOOT SUITS” from more than 60 or 70 years ago! Did my suggestion that we might have a “trio” (of saxophones) help?

The wonders of being overworked and sleep deprived!

 

The arms of Morpheus beckon! One more before I turn in. Another fellow.

Another one clue rebus. Name the artist.

 

R. I. P. Okay, okay! I changed a clue!

 

Ansel Adams?
