I am sad that Dave Brubeck died. As I wrote on our Gusto Blog, he had a long and full life. But still.
I hate to lose these old guys!
On the Gusto Blog I wrote about how Brubeck wrote a Mass and performed it at our St. Joseph's University Church here in Buffalo. Brubeck started out as a Methodist, he told me, but he became a Catholic and he was into his faith. I liked that about him. That, and "In Your Own Sweet Way."
There was another story that I told to a friend on Facebook. It was too delicate to put on the Gusto Blog.
That was that I shook Brubeck's hand once and almost broke it!
He said "Ow."
I was so embarrassed!
What if I had broken Brubeck? It could have easily happened. My husband always tells me I have this loud German voice and strong German handshake.
By the way, not that anyone asked me, but Dec. 5 was also the day that Mozart died.
It is a day of musical death!
Let us hope things are better tomorrow.
