"I go to Indianapolis every year, to see the the Indy 500. I go there with friends to drive and race. Every year when they go there to qualify, they usually have to go as fast as they possibly can to get a front row position. They put nitro in their cars sometimes instead of the fuel that's intended to be in the cars, so that the cars will go faster. And they do, for 5 or 10 laps... then they blow all to Hell." - Evel Knievel

Heard a version of La Vie En Rose by Toots Thielemans and Diana Krall on KPLU public radio this morning. Don't normally go for the harmonica sound but Toots plays it like a jazz saxophone/trumpet type thing. Amazing melody and vocal (in French). I guess the original version is by Edith Piaf. I placed a hold at my local book collective. Looks like Louis Armstrong may have done an English version.
don't go for the harmonica sound???
