Why is there always money for war, but none for education?

It's cool that people know who Oscar Peterson is!

Everything he played swung hard, was all about the blues, and had an unmatched sense of joyfulness and soul. Plus, he had a lot of chops. He was quite a virtuoso!

OP was also one of the finer musicians Canada has ever produced. RIP indeed!

Buddy. We're talking about Oscar Peterson here, not Mr. Obscurity.

I've got many of the man's albums. RIP.
