My Witty Five

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eh5-kYP45pg



I dont know if everybody has a lucky/favorite number. Mine is 5...Dont know why, it has been my sweet number since my childhood. Is it something instinctive for one to feel close towards a particular number or color? Purple attracts me more than other colors. Then is it silly trying to find familiarity between "5" & "purple" for my case:)
Would not that be interesting to watch Dave Brubeck playing "take five" five times, wearing a purple suit, haha:) I think when we start playing with numbers the outcome is quite humorous...


I better read the book " Mystery of numbers" by Annemarie Schimmel. There are two reviews of the book down here:

Do not curse me if you decide the read the book and get lost inside the labyrinth of numbers:)

hmmm...I do not particularly have one such number that I would call my favourite. However I do sometimes have a proclivity towards 4 because that's my date of birth.

We all have our preferences and our idiosyncrasies...nothing silly 'bout that! :)

What a great version of 'Take Five'. Everytime I hear those opening chords I can't help smiling, the same as when I see that picture of you. Numbers are such strange things, for me anything over 2 gets difficult. 2 is a good number, easy. Hello,
