Gigmentia - Michael Koep - Bog

GIG, a slang word coined in the 1920s by jazz musicians, short for engagement or live musical performance, combined with the Latin based suffix -MENTIA, meaning, condition of the mind, the invented word GIGMENTIA might define as engagement of the mind. Or, perhaps, that confusing state of too many shows, too many late nights, too many repetitions to remember accurately-the struggle to recount the long performance that is our life.
