Stan Getz

Stanley Getz (February 2, 1927 – June 6, 1991) was an American jazz saxophone player. Getz was known as "The Sound" because of his warm, lyrical tone, his prime influence being the wispy, mellow timbre of his idol, Lester Young. Coming to prominence in the late 1940s with Woody Herman's big band, Getz is described by critic Scott Yanow as "one of the all-time great tenor saxophonists". Getz went on to perform in bebop, cool jazz and third stream, but is perhaps best known for popularizing bossa nova, as in the worldwide hit single "The Girl from Ipanema" (1964). more »

Someday we'll build a home 
On a hilltop high, you and I, 
Shiny and new, a cottage that two can fill. 
And we'll be pleased to be called 
"The folks who live on the hill." 

Someday we may be adding 
A thing or two, a wing or two. 
We will make changes as any family will. 
But we will always be called 
"The folks who live on the hill." 

Our veranda will command a view of meadows green, 
The sort of view that seems to want to be seen. 
And when the kids grow up and leave us, 
We'll sit and look at the same old view, just we two. 

Darby and Joan who, used to be Jack and Jill, 
The folks like to be called 
What they have always been called, 
"The folks who live on the hill."
