    Oh, no. Another great one. Getting old sucks - all your heroes die. Grateful for all the music he gave us. :agree:

    One cannot mourn for a soul whose creations touched and lightened the souls of so many others. He reached around the world, and made our hips move. Can you feel it, down there? The slow roll in the walk, the sway that reaches up the shoulders, and above? You have no idea, how many otherwise strait-laced people, this man taught to dance, like they had never before. The melody, the rhythm...the swoon!

    Of all the things in man's world, how can there be anything more precious than a song that can reach into the hardest of men, and bring out the smile, of a gentle breeze, an instinctual groove that can be shared in a knowing nod, without guile or shame, and communicate that feeling of just feeling good? The power of bossa is not in its' power...but in its' surrender.

    Joao Gilberto, the world has lost so much already...thank you for this gift.
