[Sam Posten]

I'm that guy who puts together his own Christmas mix each season and distributes it amongst family and friends.  I started with cassettes.  In fact, a few years ago I put put a "special edition" chronicling my 25 years of Christmas tapes/CDs. 
And to keep on topic, last night I pulled a track from the Brubeck CD which will be on this year's effort.  :tu:

Soooo..... How does one get on this very special list? =)

 

[Mike Frezon]

Hoo boy!

He's making up discs
And handing them out
Won't give one to
That Sam Posten lout...

 

[Sam Posten]

LMAO cmon I bust a lot of peoples chops but me and Mike go waaaaaay back, no?

Out here? On the mean streets of Rensselaer? That don't mean shit, jack. Don Frezon may know you, but you ain't been made yet. You ain't familia. Perhaps one could be spared, for a favor to be asked later.
Okay, now this Dave Brubeck memorial thread is turning strange.

"The mean streets of Rensselaer..."

Here's a clip from when jazz musicians were as cool as the other side of the pillow (not that they aren't now):

Can't find the same performance. But this one is close:

That's the same video I posted in the OP, slightly reformatted but same content. =)

The original one I posted was awesome. Crisp, clear B&W clip of the band playing Take Five. There were credits which rolled at the end (in French)...but that's all I can tell you about it. I couldn't find a duplicate on YT.

I did find a few duplicates on YouTube (I looked because I wanted to let a few other friends know of it), and within hours every one of them was gone.

"You should have seen it! There were bridges made of rainbows over rivers of pure milk chocolate. Everyone rode on their own unicorn, and a tiny monkey in a fancy coat entertained us all. But, now you'll just have to take my word for it."

I've got this on CD somewhere:
