The Kid From Ipanema and Tom Jobim -- Happy New Year

12/31/2014

Antonio Carlos Jobim and Neo Silva/ Photo by Altenir Silva

On a warm day last May, Neo Silva was baptized in a glorious Italian church on Carmine Street in Greenwich Village, in the presence of his parents, Celia and Altenir.
Seven-plus months later, in summer in Rio, Neo encounters the new statue of Antonio Carlos Jobim near the beach in Ipanema.
No matter what hemisphere you are in, Feliz Ano Novo, with special thanks to Brazil for being the permanent heart and soul of Jogo Bonito, the beautiful game, and the source of Tom Jobim and La Garota de Ipanema.
Wanna feel warm?

George,

Feliz Ano Novo to you and your family, and Altenir& family.

My grandson in California (who is half-Brazilian) will certainly be saying that to us tomorrow when they call as he said Feliz Natal last week. (He is 3.5 yrs old and speaks English and Portuguese). After the parents' wedding eight years ago near Rio in November, we stayed on the beach close to Ipanema and thoroughly enjoyed Rio's beaches and many of its other sights. Our winter is a perfect time to visit Brazil, especially Rio!

I would think. You need to pay a grandparent visit.
Godt Nyttår..GV

When our first grandchild, Alec was born 23 years ago, we were enchanted, you know what that feels like, GV and gang. Antonio Carlos Jobin had recorded an album with "You do something to me, something that simply mystifies me..." in English. For Peggy and me it became permanently linked with Alec.
