I have had more than my share of memorable music experiences, and several of the most remarkable occurred as a solo newbie in Brazil, exploring Rio de Janeiro’s posh Ipanema/Copacabana beach area.

For starters by accident I ended up at the café where “The Girl from Ipanema” was written. With a jukebox playing bossa’s I bought a t-shirt sporting Jobim’s music and Vinicius’ lyrics. And, yes, even though she’s up there in years their “girl” still walks by.
