A Musical Suggestion From Dennis Shulman: Ella Fitzgerald

Dennis Shulman was one of the best of the candidates we found running for office in 2008 and we sure do hope he'll run again in 2010. New Jersey deserves better than Scott Garrett. Dennis has a rich life outside politics, of course-- as a teacher, a psychologist, a writer, a rabbi-- and a drummer. When we first started communicating I was fascinating that a blind person would take up drumming. I soon realized how stupid that was of me. I also soon realized that Dennis and I were both enamored of the same song, "Take The A Train," only he was wild about a live version Ella Fitzgerald cut and I've always like an instrumental by Duke Ellington. Last week Dennis sent me his favorite version and I did a little YouTube and figured I'd give it a spin for you.
