Doug Ramsey on Jazz and other matters...
Concerning the “Driving Be Bop” item below, Ted O’Reilly writes from Toronto:Â
Here’s a picture I took in St. Maarten in the Caribbean, in Oct. 2006. It’s the nameplate of a car — can’t remember which Asian vehicle it was, but one less-familiar to us in N. America — perhaps a Daihatsu? Anyway, must be a tenor fan who came up with

Over the years, Honda has called several vehicles, including a motorcycle, Jazz. Now Renault, the French auto maker, has unveiled a new model in its Kangoo line and named it the Be Bop.
Could Renault’s move kick-start a trend? How about:
The Renault web site indicates that the Be Bop is available in much of the world, but not in the United States, the land where its namesake originated.
