The Dave Brubeck Quartet (he's on piano) performing "Take Five" -- written by alto-sax man Paul Desmond -- in glorious black and white . . . and monophonic sound. (And why isn't there more good jazz on TV nowadays?):
FROM THE Year of Our Inner Barbarian 2007, Ernest Sands' "Sing of the Lord's Goodness" is not only highly derivative, to say the least, but in the context of the sacrifice of the Mass certainly brings home the concept of "pick up your cross and follow me."
Preferably to a church where there's a music-free Mass.
And this video represents this song sung as well as it ever will be:

SEE!!! I knew I was not alone in believing that "Sing of the Lord's Goodness" and "Take Five" had way too much in common!!!!! Scarily enough, occasionally, I find myself singing the lyrics to "SOTLG" to the Brubeck piece.......
Mea Culpa indeed!
