And if you lose the other one, you'll be a Progressive (aka, socialist,

ooh, someone's spending his retirement years listening to Glenn Beck(the
only moron I know of with this definition).

No, someone's spending his retirement years fishing, exploring the
mountains, and enjoying life without very much TV. But, there is
Netflix. And Hulu on the computer. Didn't know you watched those
right wing terrorist tv shows.

I don't(nor do I watch much from Netflix or Hulu, as I'm more of a music
kind of guy). Still, it seems like whenver anyone pops up in my net
discussions equating the word Progressive(a movement started by Teddy
Roosevelt) with communism or naziism, it always seems to come back to Beck
and his goofy rantings. Enjoy the fishing and mountains!

Hmmmmm. I don't know about the Beck thingy, but Fortenberry has called
himself a progressive for as long as I can remember, and his ideas are
very socialistic/communistic. I use progressive in that sense -
Fortenberry is a progressive, not a liberal.

Listen to music? Have you tried Pandora.com? I have several artists
set up on it and it is always on. Brubeck/Mulligan/Davis/Gilberto,
etc. There's another one that Jo uses, but can remember off hand what
it is. She's taking a friend to the doc today. I'm stuck at home
doing chores, watching the birds and deer, and trying to control Jenny
from disturbing them.

OMG! They're gotten to Dave! Brubeck is an icon of progressive jazz.

João Gilberto or Astrud Gilberto? I prefer Astrud, but João is great,
too. Astrud is always a little off-key, off-syncopation, uncertain of
English lyrics, thoroughly amateurish, and natively adorable in her
voice and phrasing.

The sets they did with Stan Getz are inspired.

I wonder if you guys might like Gilberto Gil? Not really the same kind
of music but great Brazilian music none the less.

One of my favorite Brazilian artist is Roberta Miranda. I love the sound
of her voice. My wife can't stand her. Says her lyrics are hokey. I
can't understand a word she says anyway. I don't speak Portuguese. I
just like her voice and music. Truth be told, I seldom pay much
attention to lyrics anyway. My daughter thinks that's why I like opera.

João Gilberto or Astrud Gilberto?

Both! Astrud's daughter is now singing and she is better than her
mother. First heard her at a fishing lodge during dinner. She has
several albums now.

I prefer Astrud, but João is great, too. Astrud is always a little
off-key, off-syncopation, uncertain of English lyrics, thoroughly
amateurish, and natively adorable in her voice and phrasing.

Getz/Gilberto. A classic. An earlier classic was Sergio Mendez and
Brazil 66. Joanne and I enjoyed Rio when we went to a IEEE conference
in 84. We went to samba clubs every night about 10 and would stay
until 1 or 2 in the morning listening and dancing. Great stuff.
