Persistent earworm alert XLIV
Since early this morning, Django Reinhardt's version of "Brazil" has been stuck in my mind. It's a pleasant rendition to have in repeat mode, actually. While I don't dislike the versions with vocals, Reinhardt's subtle yet brisk guitar instrumental is the arrangement I'd most want to hear. I used to play it on KCOU and WEW but hadn't thought of it in years. I have no idea what triggered it, but its melody is starting again in my mind. "Dum, dum, dum. Dum-da-dum-dum-dum..." Reinhardt proves that a relaxing tempo doesn't always have to be a slow one.
