    um…it’s “to the manner born” not “manor”

      wrong

    • Just saying says:

      Correct. It’s Shakespeare’s fault.
      Hamlet I, iv
      Hamlet:
      The king does wake tonight and takes his rouse…[etc.]
      Horatio:
      Is it a custom?
      Hamlet:
      Ay, marry is’t,
      And to my mind, though I am native here
      And to the manner born, it is a custom
      More honored in the breach than the observance.

  • Oliver says:

    But to my mind, – though I am native here
    And to the manner born, – it is a custom
    More honour’d in the breach than the observance.

    – William Shakespeare

  • Leonard Slatkin says:

    Everyone is correct. Shakespeare used “manner” and the Brit sit come was “Manor.”

  • Phil A says:

    Wishing him well as a composer entering a very competitive commercial field. The article references a performer on this score as ‘ jazz flugelhornist Jeff Beal’. I think it is worth noting that Jeff is also a brilliant composer too. He has been responsible for the music for Monk and House of Cards among other scores.

    I listened to ‘In Fields’. I found it quite dull.
