From today's New York Times Arts & Leisure section by one of my favorite journalists. Jon Pareles is a tremendous music writer with great taste and enthusiasms - still going strong after decades. I used to get a kick out of running into him on the streets of NYC. "What're you listening to?" he'd ask as his way of saying hello.
