nprfreshair:

Jazz pianist Dave Brubeck (who turns 90 on Monday) started college as a veterinary sciences major. But one day, his zoology teacher offered him some advice.

“He said, ‘Brubeck, your mind is not here with these frogs in the formaldehyde. Your mind is across the lawn, at the conservatory. Will you please go over there next year?’ “

And the rest, as they say, is history.

Love this man and his music.
