[Magdalen] RIP King of Thailand, 88.

[Jay Weigel]

I was thinking he played the clarinet, but of course I could be wrong, not
being a particular jazz aficionado. I may be remembering that he did a duet
with Benny Goodman at some time.

Look for some upheaval in the country as his son, the Crown Prince, is not
well regarded, and there has been some maneuvering to depose him in favor
of his sister, who is not only thought more able but is well liked by the
people.
