I was taking armor training at Ft. Knox Ky. in 1962, when during a phone conversation one weekend, the sax player in our band told me about this 'new beat' called 'Bossa Nova' and said we would be adding some of these songs to our cocktail hour set for weddings, etc. ... he was always the 'jazz guy' in the group and he couldn't wait for us to start playing this great 'new style' of music ...
