Last night, we double-dated with Eric and Emily to Gilberto Gil's Acoustic (String) Trio at UNC's Memorial Hall.  Gilberto is arguably Brazil's most famous singer/songwriter. He has been recording for over 4 decades and co-founded the Tropicalia genre in the late sixties.

Initially, while excited, I was hesitant to get my hopes up.  Over the last 5 years, I've pulled from Mr. Gil's catalog again and again. I'd set a mental reference of how he should sound and (somehow) perform.  In the end, I was not disappointed in the least.  I'd honestly have to say that it was one of the best performances I've seen.  He sounded wonderful: sharp, both vocally and musically.  He exuded charisma and humility.  After the performance, Eric summed it up well, " That was amazing. It was one of those experiences where you knew how special it was as it was happening."

If you haven't heard Gilberto's music, make your way to your local music shop. Here's a sip from his 1971 album:

Artist and friend-extraordinaire, Mr. Duane Fernandez, is currently visiting our old stomping grounds of Hermosa Beach, CA.  While having lunch at Los Muchachos, he came across a PDUB sticker placed about 5 years ago.  Duane produced these stickers from a stencil he made shortly after Powell "PDUB" Williams was killed by a drunk driver in March of 2005. For both of us, he was as close of a friend as you could have. He is no less missed today as the day he left us. 

In honor of Powell, Corrina and I are volunteering and walking with MADD in Raleigh, NC on March 20th.  We'd love for you to join us! If you're able, we'd greatly appreciate a donation to support a charity so dedicated in ending these daily (and avoidable) tragedies.  Please visit Corrina's MADD page for more information.
