Kenny Ball RIIP and A Hot Air Ball...

In keeping with the "trumpet/Jazz" pattern-cluster as of late, lead trumpet player Kenny Ball passed away today.  Note this excerpt from his wiki page (Here):  

Kenny Ball ( 22 May 1930^[1] – 7 March 2013) Kenny Ball and his Jazzmen.^[2]

Also standing out was his surname Ball, given that it ties in with the "Bell/Belle/Flora" pattern cluster via the root origin, note the following etymology:

ball (n.1) from Proto-Germanic *balluz, from PIE root*bhel- (2) "to blow, inflate, swell" 

Note the reference to "inflate" in the above, which is meaningful when considering two recent posts, March 2nd and March 6th where two "air ships" from seemingly out of the blue had cropped: Eugene Bookhammer and Zed Leppezin's Backward Mask...and Smith RIIP, Black Snakes and Air Ships.  Now I find his last name that much more meaningful, even though airships are shaped more like a "football" they're definitely "inflated" like a hot air balloon.  It's also interesting to note that trumpet players swell out their cheeks ... and lungs in order to play.

Kenny Ball's date of birth, May 22nd, also stands out given a recent post that concerns this day, note the following excerpts from my March 2nd post entitled, William Bennett RIIP and Peter Bennett Doppelganger:

From the "Twin Peaks" tv series wiki page (Here), note the following:  

•  ... best ratings since its third week on the air with a 12.6 and a 22 share of the audience.^[34] On May 22, 1990, it was announced that Twin Peaks would be renewed for a second season.^[35] 

... as what you see in the above re: the reference to the show peaking at 22 share of the audience; and then in the very next sentence May 22nd crops up!!  Note, the following regarding the day of May 23: 

•  May 23 is the 143rd day of the year (144th in leap years), 222 days remain until the end of year

The 222 makes the date of May 23rd significant, so this means that May 22nd is also significant due to twin 22, also significant because it fits into the "Off By One" pattern-cluster.  Even the month of May has "personal" significant given that my first name is May, and note the name of my first blog "Toumai"...  

As I continued to read the article on Kenny Ball's wiki page I noted the following name listed among the Jazzmen players:

·         John Bennett - (trombone) - still in the present day line-up

Audd when you consider the above post excerpt, where the names "William Bennett and Peter Bennett" is in the posts

title, butt it gets audder, note this next excerpt from the same post: 

Even more meaningful to me, is simply the surname  "Bennett" given that it's the surname of my partner

What I should also bring to your attention now, is that my partner has a brother named "John"!!
It's also interesting to note that the post begins with the recent death of William Bennett, a renown oboist... which happens to be another wind instrument!!

So the question that remains is "so whats up with the pattern-clusters"?!   AND, if you're open minded enough to handle it, part of the answer is found at the header of my Tomai Blog (Here)
