When I was walking to class today, "Concierto de Aranjuez" from Miles Davis' album _Sketches of Spain_ popped up on the old portable. How a song that clocks in at over sixteen minutes got on there I have no idea, but it was a pleasant surprise.My grandfather loved jazz, and he wisely chose _Sketches of Spain_, one of the most accessible albums with which to introduce me to Miles. I mentioned this in passing to my father this afternoon on the phone, and he related this funny little anecdote from when I was about six years old that I don't remember.
Evidently I was sitting at the kitchen table one afternoon with my grandfather playing a board game, and out of nowhere he said, "Rakel, be sure you marry someone riiche. One learns to love."I looked at him quizzically, "But zaide, can't I get a job when I grow up?"He laughed, "Ohkay, your husband can wear zee pearls."
