  2. I thought it was going to be The Girl from Ipanema, sung by Atrud Gilberto* with Antonio Carlos Jobim handling the music. Diana Krall likes Bossa Nova music.

    *a possible relative of Bebel Gilberto?

    That was Astrud G, definitely OK.
    Nanaimo: have High Tea at the Empress in Victoria, then drive up to Nanaimo. Lovely.

    Aldo, Nanaimo Bars are quite yummy, better than carrots.

    Astrud was João Gilberto's first wife who had never sang professionally before "The Girl from Ipanema".

    Bebel is the daughter of Gilberto and Miúcha. She's a pretty good singer, ILHO.
