Thought folks might be interested to know that that the widow of the great jazz pianist and composer Thelonious Monk has died age 82. Thelonious, whose great number "Round Midnight" is one of the evergreens, ensured that Nellie will for ever be remembered when he wrote "Crepuscule With Nellie" in 1957 when she was undergoing surgery.

She must have been a remarkable lady to persevere with some of TM's apparently bizarre behaviour. I used to know what crepescule means. RIP Mrs. Monk.Straight No Chaser.

Doesn't crepuscular mean active at dawn and dusk, like foxes, rather than nocturnal like possums?

It's more subtle than that, DW.

Crepuscular
Resembling the twilight of morning or evening; dim, indistinct; not yet fully enlightened
