The 2 of Clubs coordinate

Fayard was born October 20, 1914 (1914-10-20). Month 10 and day 20 give solar value 15, which is the 2 of Clubs (The Collaborative Builder). Card Blueprints treats that as a 365-day coordinate: solar value = 55 − (2 × month + day). The year 1914 is unused, so Fayard's 1914 birth year does not move the card. The 2 of Clubs does not predict a Kennedy Center Honor and is not a verdict on Fayard.

Nicholas, was a drummer and his mother, Viola Harden Nicholas, was a pianist. In 1932, when he was 18 and his brother was only 11, they became the featured act at Cotton Club in New York City. The brothers earned fame with a unique style of rhythm tap that blended "masterful jazz steps with daredevil athletic moves and an elegance of motion worthy of ballet".
