Jobim did have a style that he mined assiduously.
Gershwin said if he could get a fine one in 12 that was good. Jobim wrote many
pedestrian songs to get to his special ones. The marijuana reference, i don't

Regina?
David was there. I believe that. I believe he spent days in voodun ceremonies in
Cuba. He is dead now and I have no way to lie detector the dude. I did not make

but I never knew him to lie.
History is basically the stories people remember.
