Good-bye

Don't you hate it when a great Jazz musician dies. Dave Brubeck would have turned 92 on the 6th of December. RIP Mr. Brubeck. As a young child his mother banned him from listening to the radio- she believed music should be played on an instrument. Perhaps this was a contributing factor towards nurturing his talent. He learned to play music by ear because he was cross-eyed and could barely read the notes. Isn't that the fundamentals of Jazz?

We also lose Dame Elizabeth Murdoch today. A beautiful, elegant lady who led a fortunate life and shared it all with so many. Aged 103. Philanthropist, Arts Patron, Devoted mother, she contributed everything to the welfare of others.
