I recently used the phrase, "A tisket, a tasket," in a post of mine here and since people have asked what it is, I thought there were more people out here that had never heard the nursery rhyme either. I used the phrase with...

Who likes jazz?

isavedlatintwice @isavedlatintwice (72) • United States 13 Jan 07

John Coltrane, Miles Davis, Charles Mingus, Thelonious Monk, Louis Armstrong, Ella Fitzgerald...I feel like I'm the only person who listens to any of these guys anymore. I feel old (though I'm not even 20 yet).
