Samba in mid-winter

Around this time of year, with temperatures plummeting, many of us yearn for someplace with warmer climate. Brazil might be nice. Here is my contribution to making us all feel a little warmer. It's called "At the beach in Rio" (Copyright © 2002 David T. Koyzis). It borrows shamelessly from the style of the Brazilian samba music of the 1960s, particularly the likes of Antonio Carlos Jobim and Sergio Mendes, with maybe a hint of Burt Bacharach thrown in for good measure.
