Yup.

I'm not on FB, but I once wrote a post describing the adversity that Ornette Coleman experienced early in his career. I'm not sure how I tied it all together, but recall comparing Hank to the lonely woman of Coleman's Lonely Woman. That post is lost forever in the unsearchable morass of the Lawtalkers archives, but it was some of my best work, if not my best work. In high school, I went through a serious free jazz phase, which coincided with my discovery that you could check record out of the local library, and my subsequent discovery that many of the records in the library were obscure free jazz. The Ornette Coleman record The Empty Foxhole is probably not some of his best work. But it served its purpose in high school.
