definition of “delay”
Unlike the French terms “délai” and “délais” which refer to an expected or planned time frame, the English words delay and delayed mean being late.
Here’s an illustration of a ‘less than an hour” delay:
Once announced, it was, in fact, not only on time but … ahead of the ETA!
Savannah, as you can see, was appropriately named:
There are rivers winding in and out and around.
So it’s probably wonderful to have a boat down here. If you manage to find the time to use it … And if you don’t have a boat, it’s still nice to have a dock on the marshes.
And if you don’t happen to have your own private dock … you’re probably not getting mosquito bites either … but that won’t prevent you from using the one at Lazaretto Creek or at Tybee.
where you can go fishin’ … or crabbin’ … or just make friends and keep an eye open for dolphins …
All you really need is time. So don’t … delay.

Savannah’s Tribute to the Duke
M
Because Music plays deeply in my soul and I see you have a love of music also, I thought this “share” might appeal to you.
SThanks S! I wish I could be there!! Let me know a little earlier for next April – ok?
April 25th
The Coastal Jazz Association of Savannah will present its Annual Tribute to Duke Ellington on Sunday, April 25th. This event will be celebrating the legacy left by one of America’s greatest musicians/composers for what would have been his 111th birthday (born April 29, 1899).
This will be CJA’s 24th year playing tribute to Mr. Ellington.
The “guest artist” which is a feature of this annual event, will be Multi Instrumentalist, Longineu Parsons. Mr. Parsons has been hailed by critics as one of the world’s finest trumpet players. He is also a master of recorders, flute, percussion, and sings. His music crosses genres and defies classification. It’s jazz, it’s funk, it’s blues, it’s classic, it’s urban, it’s world fusion, but most of all, it’s all good.
He has performed in some thirty countries in North, South and Central America, Europe, Asia, the Middle East and Africa. His audiences have included such dignitaries as the King of Morocco, the President of Gabon, the Royal Family of the Netherlands, the President of Austria, the U.S. Ambassador to France, and the Royal Family of Monaco.
Over his 25-year career, Longineu has shared the stage and recording studio with Cab Calloway, Nat Adderley, Cecil Taylor, Nancy Wilson, Joe Williams, Herbie Mann, Frank Foster, Mal Waldron, Philly Joe Jones, Archie Shepp, Sun Ra, Sam Rivers, David Murray, Hamiet Bluiett, Billy Harper, Hal Singer, Jimmy Witherspoon, Joseph Jarman, Don Moye, François Lindemann, Manu Dibongo, Pierre Akendengue, Sugar Blue, Wycliff Gordon and many others.
Those attending the concert will also enjoy the vocals of Priscilla Albergottie-Williams, who is the Savannah Jazz Orchestra’s featured vocalist. Ms. Albergottie-Williams has performed both church and secular music in superb equilibrium. She has performed with trombonist, Teddy Adams, for years and was the featured vocalist with the Savannah Jazz Orchestra. She can be heard on SJO: live recording “Satin Doll” -featuring the music of Duke Ellington and Johnny Mercer.
The concert is free and open to the public and is presented by The Coastal Jazz Association of Savannah through a generous grant from the City of Savannah.
Because of the tremendous contributions that Stubby Mitchell and Isadore Karpf have made to jazz in the Coastal Empire, this concert is dedicated to them. CJA graciously acknowledges their generous contributions and unending support of the arts in Savannah.
This special concert will be held on Sunday, April 25 at 5:00 p.m. in the Armstrong Atlantic State University “Fine Arts Auditorium.”
Here’s Duke’s Place.

One reason for Savannah
The opposite of “despite” … How about these?
Because & Thanks to.
Because we just love Savannah and Paris … and thanks to you for reading The (Paris Savannah) Connection.
Reason can be emotional.
