Tuesday Tunes--The Girl From Ipanema

I remember listening to this song as a child on my parent's record player. Even at that young age, I could relate to the longing captured in this song. It came to mind again recently. My sons study Brazilian Jujitsu. They just got a new teacher in from Brazil, and he brought his beautiful young wife with him. I talked with her the other day, and she struck me as the perfect Girl From Ipanema. Here is the version of the song that I listened to so long ago.

And here is a sweet instrumental version.
