The Nobels Prize goes out to every subject you can think of I guess..
I don't think deed and reward goes hand in hand anymore... Reap the rewards and try not to think of who planted the sead, eh?

"Take Five"? Dave Bruebeck? Sounds familiar, but I can't place it...

My humblest apologies for being so ignorant.. smiley - sadface

My father introduced me to Dave Bruebeck. He had been listening to an old casette with Take Five on it when he was but a boy. Two years ago he bought a Dave Bruebeck Greatest, and found the very same recording of Take Five as track one! I fell in love with it the moment I heard it.

One-Eye: It's a kind of jazz-thingy... hard to explain, simply nice listening. Enjoy! smiley - winkeye

OK, it was just announced...well, 55 minutes ago actually, but anyway:

Anyone familiar with the name?

Hi Titania! How are you?

I think maybe Bruebeck is dead, but I could be wrong. I'm not very good at following up on artists...

I've never heard of him either. Noone ever has, it seems. Except the members of the Academy that decides the winner.

He's probably a great chap, winning the Nobel's and all. Even if noone has ever heard of him. Now we do at least!
