Many years ago. I met Linda and visited her in her home. We had a mutual friend " Toad", ( Antoinette) I went to Glastonbury too.a d remember her performing. I had and held on to her first album. She was so pretty and sweet. Childlike and enthusiastic. I only just learned she passed last year. Bless Her! Remembered with love
It's something of beauty to see a teacher with some of his students perfom this classic of a song on stage. Donald Byrd almost made me go to Howard University for my college education. Rest on prof.

Aquarela do Brasil [Ary Barroso] com Elza Soares e Sonzeira Brasil, meu Brasil brasileiro Meu mulato inzoneiro Vou cantar-te nos meus versos O Brasil, samba que dá Bamboleio, que faz gingar O Brasil do meu amor Terra de Nosso Senhor Brasil! Brasil! Pra mim! Pra mim! Ô, abre a cortina do passado Tira a mãe preta do cerrado Bota o rei congo no congado Brasil! Brasil! Deixa cantar de novo o trovador À merencória luz da Lua Toda canção do meu amor Quero ver essa Dona caminhando Pelos salões, arrastando O seu vestido rendado Brasil! Brasil! Pra mim! Pra mim! Brasil, terra boa e gostosa Da morena sestrosa De olhar indiscreto O Brasil, verde que dá Para o mundo se admirar O Brasil do meu amor Terra de Nosso Senhor Brasil! Brasil! Pra mim! Pra mim! Ô! Esse coqueiro que dá coco Onde eu amarro a minha rede Nas noites claras de luar Brasil! Brasil! Ô! Estas fontes murmurantes Onde eu mato a minha sede E onde a Lua vem brincar Ô! Esse Brasil lindo e trigueiro É o meu Brasil brasileiro Terra de samba e pandeiro Brasil! Brasil! Pra mim! Pra mim!
