On this day, 1974, died great Edward "Duke" Ellington,
pianist,composer,arranger and conductor; for many (I
included) of the best jazz orchestra in the history.

i thought you meant Mussolini, never mind.

Mussolini?  Il Duce means "leader" as apart from the rank of nobility, duke (duca in Italian).  The two words are derived from the same Latin root dux, military leader from ducere (to lead), as is the English word duke and the older Venetian title Doge

Today I guess I'll take the A train. :)

I'm getting sentimental over this thread.

And how did Mussolini get there?  ???
