Took me a minute. Oh right, It’s invisible.

Bingo.

Somber music for a somber time?

[LS]

Relaxing. Nice.

My go-to relaxation music is “Dave Brubeck Quartet: Bossa Nova USA.”

> Somber music for a somber time?

Or any time you’re feeling somber.

[Slings and Arrows]

Thanks!

I like your taste in music - “Time Out” Is one of my all-time favorite albums.

I saw DBQ around 69, or just before Desmond died. Got to go backstage with Morello who was amazing. My hero as a jazz drummer.

[Slings and Arrows]

I envy you, sir. That must’ve been an amazing experience.
