Insomniac-Net Questions -- Friday[01], Jan 02, 2015
Tonight's Topic: "A Little Bossa Nova for the New Year"
HAPPY NEW YEAR!

BooBooKitty Dijon has a Special Message for you: Happy New Years -- 2015!

    Good morning/evening, everybody! Thank you for joining us tonight.
    We hope you'll discover something interesting during the time we spend together on the Insomniac Net for the next 90+ minutes.
        -- The ever-delightful Shelley [KF7TBA] and just plain old LW [K7LWA] (email K7LWA.INS@gmail.com).
    You can get these Questions & Answers at the Yahoo-groups' Messages Link.

    ++ Tonight's Topic: "A little Bossa Nova for the New Year" ++
    For the New Year, we are beginning a new trend by updating our format for a faster and, hopefully, an easier Insomniac-Net for you on Friday nights.
    We ended 2014 with questions about the most popular music just 50 years ago during the year of 1964?
        For tonight's questions -- to start off our new wave of Trivia -- our questions are about the bossa nova.
    Luckily, one of our good friends (a local Seattle HAM), "Bossa Nova" Bill [KG7FWB] has graciously helped us with our questions tonight.
    (For more Bossa Nova knowledge, please samba over to Bill's website: BossaNovaVideo!)

Accordingly, please choose your answers from any of the 3 (reuseable) answers of "A", "B", or "C" (if applicable!) for each question.
So how much do you know about the bossa nova?

Question #1: What does the phrase "bossa nova" originally mean (... a little tricky)?
        A. "A new way, trend, wave, beat, etc.", or
        B. "A New Boss is in Town", or
        C. "It's Boss, Man!"

Question #2: Where did the 1950s-60s popular music genre, bossa nova, originate?
        A. Cuba, or
        B. Chile, or
        C. Brazil

Question #3: For many of us, the most popular bossa nova composition is "The Girl From Ipanema (Garota de Ipanema)". What or where is Ipanema?
        A. It was a private island just 90 miles off Florida in the Gulf of Mexico -- which, unfortunately, was destroyed by Hurricane Katrina in 2005, or
        B. It was popular 1950s-60s brand of Toothpaste which gave you a captivating white smile, or
        C. It's a south-zone neighborhood of Rio de Janeiro -- like Copacabana.

++ QUOTES OF THE DAY ++ -- from "Bossa Nova" Bill [KG7FWB]:
"The bossa nova must never be played.......it must be whispered!"

"The Girl from Ipanema" Astrud Gilberto, João Gilberto and Stan Getz (YouTube) Astrud Gilberto & Stan Getz: The Girl From Ipanema --1964 (YouTube)

Lyrics: Garota de Ipanema (Portuguese)
Olha que coisa mais linda
Mais cheia de graça
É ela menina
Que vem e que passa
Seu doce balanço, a caminho do mar

Moça do corpo dourado
Do sol de Ipanema
O seu balançado é mais que um poema
É a coisa mais linda que eu já vi passar

Ah, porque estou tão sozinho
Ah, porque tudo é tão triste
Ah, a beleza que existe
A beleza que não é só minha
Que também passa sozinha

Ah, se ela soubesse
Que quando ela passa
O mundo inteirinho se enche de graça
E fica mais lindo
Por causa do amor

The Girl from Ipanema (English)
Look, what a beautiful thing
So graceful
She is the girl
That comes and goes by
In her sweet swing heading to the sea

Girl of the golden brown tan
From the Ipanema sun
Her swing is more than a poem
She is the most beautiful thing that I've ever seen going by

Ah, why am I so alone?
Ah, why is everything so sad?
Ah, the beauty that exists
The beauty that is not only mine
That also goes by alone

Ah, if she knew
That when she goes by
The whole world fills with joy
And it becomes more beautiful
Because of love

Please include you name, Callsign, and those correct answers.
Good luck everyone!
