I told a friend at work how much he likes Dave Brubeck and he found 6 in his parents' basement. The other one (where I found content) was one he must have picked up by mistake (or the universe knew I need a source!) because it's the Hi-Ho's not Dave B. After reading the back, I am really looking for forward to hearing the album, but my son has the turntable!
