However, it&#8217;s Tuesday, the high today is well below freezing, and I&#8217;ve recently been reminded of some music that I enjoy. Let&#8217;s see if WordPress will let me embed some music videos, shall we?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I love Sergio Mendes and his music. Brasil &#8217;66 was his group during my high school years and earlier, and Mais Que Nada is one of many songs I remember from back then.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Sergio Mendes &amp; Brasil 66 - Mas que nada (introduced by Eartha Kitt \/ Something Special 1967)\" width=\"450\" height=\"338\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/BrZBiqK0p9E?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I came across this version of Take Five several years ago, when Gerard Vanderleun featured it on his website. Different, and quite enjoyable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Sachal Studios&#039; Take Five Official Video\" width=\"450\" height=\"253\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/GLF46JKkCNg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Speaking of Dave Brubeck and Paul Desmond, I found this video of Blue Rondo a la Turk in my YouTube recommends a couple of days ago. I recognized Hugh Hefner in the audience, and thought it was from a Playboy After Dark episode. It turns out that it&#8217;s actually from Playboy&#8217;s Penthouse, which was a show about a decade earlier than Playboy After Dark. Some episodes of both shows are available on line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Dave Brubeck Quartet - &quot;Blue Rondo \u00e0 la Turk,&quot; live\" width=\"450\" height=\"338\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/j9GgmGLPbWU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, this song by the Moody Blues is the one that I decided, decades ago, to use as my theme music if I ever hosted one of those late-night &#8220;quiet talk and music&#8221; radio shows. Of course, at this point in my life, I think that&#8217;s a possibility that has passed me by, not that it was ever really an option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Are You Sitting Comfortably?\" width=\"450\" height=\"338\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/aPcPApPO20s?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I haven&#8217;t updated this site in a few years.
