Oh how it moves me that you my rockin and rollin son felt warmly and wrote so beautifully about Astrid Gilberto. I assumed she was outside your frame. She was certainly in mine and the first note of anything she sang just opened my heart. I recently heard a young Japanese/Brazilian/Canadian bas-a- nova singer whose very Japanese name escapes my frame in an obscure FM interview I came across her talking about Astrid as her idol and hearing her all her nuances and inflections delighted me and i realized perhaps for the first time how purposeful they were. And hearing them for the first time just made me laugh as much as your column brings me unexpected tears. Thank you Dan.
