I loved this. My father was a fan of the Carlos Jobim bossa nova records popular in the 60s and my first guitar was a nylon string he gave me when I was 12.

This clip brings me back to that unique sound, makes me want to go buy a nylon sting guitar and throw away my picks for awhile.

thank you blankman!

*promote Águas de Março is one my favourite songs of all time. Singing it in English is no comparison to singing it in Portuguese.

As you may know Ive created a playlist of many of the dead videos on the sift. As its been there for awhile, and there have been quite a few views of it, very few vids have been fixed or discarded. I thought a list just of yours might be of some help. The list below are all your videos on my playlist. There may be a few errors, but I gave it my best shot.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

Was smoking during a song the way to add gravitas to a performance during the 70s?
