"Dad?" Sean, my 8 yo son asked me, "What if, what if when they asked a prisoner 'Do you have any final words?' what if the prisoner never said anything? Would that mean they'd never be able to execute him?"

"Maybe." I said...

Something to remember.

My favorite track from the 1965 album 'From All Sides' featuring pianist Vince Guaraldi and guitarist Bola Sete. While Sete's guitar is wonderful it's Guaraldi's piano playing that makes this song for me. While I'm not deeply familiar with the various versions of 'A Taste of Honey' (which was written for a Broadway play based on a British play and then eventually made into a movie all under the same name), I was into this version before I knew there was history behind it. I just dug the song and the blending of Latin music with American jazz. If the name of Vince Guaraldi sounds familiar to you, it's probably because he composed the music for the Peanuts television specials and his piece, 'Linus and Lucy' (originally composed for a shelved Peanuts documentary), became almost synonymous with the name Charlie Brown. When I was a 20 something buying 'From All Sides', I had no idea who Vince Guaraldi or Bola Sete was. I had no idea that Guaraldi already occupied a space in my grey matter with that iconic piano piece from 'A Charlie Brown Christmas'. I had never bothered to find out who was behind that music. It was surprising to me when I finally asked myself, "Who wrote that Charlie Brown music?" only to see the name Vince Guaraldi. Life is a continuous journey of learning people as long as you remain curious and open to being taught.
