He was always my favorite, going back to Brazil 66

 

 

The wife & I put on "Timeless" last night to commemorate.

 

You call her "the wife?"

 

This makes me think of my brother who passed in 2023. He loved music, introduced us as kids as to how a stereo was supposed to sound. He built his own amplifier, tuner, added turntable, reel to reel tapes and Sergio Mendes was one of the artists he listed to.

If there is a lousy connection on a car radio, I can't help but think of him too. He hated static, and poor connections, and any sounds of distortion.

 

He and his music will be missed. RIP

 

It's amazing to look at the quality of the video. That YouTube clip was broadcast production in 1966.
Now your average cell phone can produce something SOoooo much better!!

 

And it can blow away the computers of 1966. My BMW X3 could blow away my 66 GTO . Times have certainly changed for the better.
