I like the song… may not be anything special – but any music video with Kelsey Gunn in it is worth an Embed. It’s odd seeing her in something serious after all those 5 Second films.
In my 20s, I worked briefly at a ceramics studio. There was this very beautiful latin woman, probably in her early 40s, who used to come in and make stuff. She was shy, but over time we became friendly. One day a friend of mine came in to bring me a microphone he’d borrowed. “Oh, are you a musician?” she said. Yes, I replied. She said, “My husband was a jazz musician. He’s passed on now.” I gave her my regrets. Then she said, “Perhaps you’ve heard of him. Stan Getz?” My jaw dropped.
What a great story! Thanks.
