[Magdalen] R.I.P. Dave Brubeck

[James Oppenheimer-Crawford]

Hey, who cares? It's neat to remember Dave and his marvelous little ditty,
Take Five.

It would years after that before, exposed to early music, I found that in
many cultures five- and seven-beat measures are more the norm than the
exception.  And as you can hear in Take Five, the rhythm brings a new sense
of flexibility to music.
