I have not been able to dig through the boxes to find this article yet. If anyone knows the proper refference for this statement, please add it or leave a note here.-- Rwberndt ( talk) 16:52, 28 May 2011 (UTC)
I understand that his name is pronounced "fal-CONE-ee," and not "fal-CONE." The pronunciation should be added to the beginning of the article, in the official phonetic pronunciation that vanishingly few of us understand, but perhaps also in a comprehensible phonetic spelling.

To whomever added the family section from an anonymous IP - please source such information. Only those who knew Falcone know of the accuracy of such statements and, yes, they are accurate. But Wikipedia requires verifiable sources for information with a particularly strict adherence where biographies are concerned. I fear this detail may disappear in the future without proper sourcing.

Perhaps Ken will personally comment here one day. I wonder about his quote because I never heard Falcone phrase the thought that way.
Solid brass is an interesting account of Falcone's life, but one that very much reflects the way others perceived it - and his public persona. I have found many quotes in the book that are just a little off. I have to wonder if the Bloomquist quote is another, as Falcone wondered daily what was afflicting him as his health deteriorated for many months. The symptoms he experienced were pretty serious and impactful. Many many times he said to me "Ron, I don't know what is happening to me", or "why this is happening to me", but the words that followed and are omitted here were "The doctors wont tell me anything except to take some pills and get some rest. They won't tell me what is wrong". This bothered him greatly because as bad as things were in the Fall, he already knew that he could not lead a band, let alone travel, unless his condition were reversed. But the doctors did nothing for him and he just got worse. He somehow willed himself to come into the office right up until his last says, concerned that everyone was depending on him for the alumni band tour and that he was going to let them down. I spent dozens and dozens of hours with him those last 6 months of his life, and to this day, I still wonder, as he did, what they hid from him.
But my point was the phrasing is off. He always said "I dont know why" not the interrogative "why is this". It was unlike him to ask a question when he could instead state his situation and await a useful response. Questions were reserved for prompting students to discover what they were doing wrong. It was a fundamental part of his core mannerisms. So it just seems odd. Rwberndt ( talk) 22:53, 5 April 2022 (UTC)
