Wilson Gillette - "The Girl From Ipanema"

Still catching up on household chores, so the Fury tribute is on hold for a few days.

I hope you don't mind my posting of another piece of great music performed by a gifted musician. This video is special to me as the performer is an old high school friend. Wilson Gillette was a star basketball player with the New Town Eagles when they were a powerhouse team in North Dakota high school sports. He also excelled in track and football, but I think his musical talent is what his friends will remember him for.

Like many of us, he's now retired to a warmer climate, but he still plays a mean steel. Please take a minute to enjoy the video and notice that Wilson is the sole performer in this rendition, and that he is playing all the accompanying instruments. Yes, he's always had a great sense of humor too.
