Warming up...

Here we go - 15 hours after requesting on You Tube - the clip finally posted - thanks to all for the techie tips... guess there was just an overload at the youtube site...

Okay, so I know this is blogging the obvious, but, uh, it's cold in Canada... And it gets dark really early - like a 3 o'clock in the morning dark at 7 p.m. - which makes it really hard to motivate yourself to get out of the house... it took tons of motivation to get out from hiberation and go socialize...

...Just arrived back in DC, and it's something ridiculous like 20 degrees C here... so it makes the Canadian contrast that much more glaring.... I know I am saying this like someone who has never been to Canada before...but still - it's cold!... and dark.... so I thought that I'd post some quality Brazilian music to warm up the Canadian readers... This guy, Gilberto Gil is a musical genius as well as Brazil's Minister of Culture - don't we wish that we had one of those, i.e. a Federal Minister of Culture... and a musically inclined one at that? Anyway, enjoy!
