Henry Pulizzi delves a little too deep into the Federal Reserve’s newly released transcripts from 2002:
Former Chairman Alan Greenspan offered a tantalizing tidbit on his days as a saxophone player, when Cleveland Fed President Jerry Jordan mentioned a visit to Covington, Kentucky, where Mr. Greenspan’s jazz band once played. “I don’t know if I should admit to this, but in the back room there were very peculiar things going on,” Mr. Greenspan said in September 2002. “So we heard!” Mr. Jordan replied. The details, alas, remain a mystery.
It’s probably for the best.
