1979, Newport Jazz Festival. I couldn't do a bS week this soon after Brubeck's passing without at least a nod in his direction. Plus, you know, trombone solo!

I loves me some classical guitar. I've mentioned this before, but one of the formative cultural experiences of my childhood was going to the then-pretty-new Orchestra Hall in Minneapolis to see Julian Bream (it had to have been 1974 or 1975). brotherS and I sat in the nosebleed seats, separate from our parents, as they were unable to get four tickets together. We dressed up in our Sunday best for the show and were warned on pain-of-death not to so much as cough. And we went out to a real Chinese restaurant (i.e., silverwear and china dishes, not plastic and styrofoam) beforehand. Also, Julian Bream and I share a birthdate, so that's cool too.

This song takes me back to my youth. I can remember singing along to the chorus while my folks drove us to Itasca state park one summer. I had no idea how sad this song really was.
