Chet Baker - But Not For Me (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R_f_mMJAezM#lq-lq2-hq-vhq)
Back when I was but a weeee lad (the 3rd grade), I signed up to learn to play a musical instrument (it was mostly to get out of math class 8) ). My buddy, Joey and I both signed up. I was handed a clarinet, and the lucky make the beast with two backser Joey was handed a trumpet. My mom had always played a lot of jazz, big band, swing and bosa nova in the house when we were growing up (in between the hotwheel track beatings). I had always thought Chet was cool, and was bummed thinking Joey was gonna get to be the cool kid, and I was gonna end up be'n Benny Goodman [laugh]
Chet died a f'ed up drug addict, but in his younger days he was the shit 8)
