Happy Dave Brubeck Day

Did anybody catch Dave Brubeck & Sons at ECC-North?

 

Oh yeah, well, it was 1974 or so. I was the concert committee guy, so that was a lot of fun. Got to meet Dave and his sons.

 

I also remember being at my aunt's house when she brought home the original Take Five album. It was really cool oddball music. I still struggle to figure out time signatures like that.

That had to be so cool meeting Dave!  

 

Odd-ball time signatures aren't that bad. I'm a Rush fan. 7/4 is like second nature.

 

IT'S SMUDGE BACK TO BACK!!!!!!!

Did you know Geddy Lee's real name is Gary?

 

His mother has a heavy Eastern European accent, so when she called him for dinner, it was "Ged-dy Ged-dy!" Soon his friends started calling him Geddy, and the name stuck.

 

I saw that on an interview, probably Dan Rather's Big Interview show on AXS TV. I thought that was pretty funny.

Yep. Knew that for quite a while. Gary Lee Weinrib. Alex's last name is actually Zivojinovic which is Yugoslavian. The literal translation is "Son Of Life", so his stage name is Lifeson. Neil used his real name.
