An "Indian summer" is defined on wikipedia as a period of sunny, warm weather in autumn, not long before winter. It is also the title of one of Dave Brubeck's recent solo releases.
I had the rare privilege of seeing Dave Brubeck in concert and it will always be a shining memory in my lifetime.
I welled up a bit in pondering about the idea that Dave's "winter" could be around the corner. I hope that when my winter comes I will have made such an impact in this world and inspired as many people with my music as he has.
My heart is so full of music right now that it could burst and at the same time... it is guarded and doesn't know how to let any out. The paradox of speechless exuberance I suppose.
This blog is my feeble attempt at writing more. If you have a moment give Indian Summer a listen it may not do much for you at all... but you will have at least had the opportunity to meet me where I am at tonight. In particular "Summer Song."
Perhaps I'll write again sooner than later... bear with me ;-)
Until then,
Adieu

After reading this, I had to go and listen to Indian Summer, expecting a single piece; its an entire album!
Dave Brubek - a magnificent magician and a point in time memory of you and your future bride at a special, special concert.
Its not sad. Its peaceful and worry free.
Love,
Dad
I had a lot of fun with you at that concert. Maybe you can share that album with me later tonight!? I miss you! I wish we had more time together. Just a couple more days...we can make it! Love you!
