My homage to Antonio Carlos Jobim. If you also enjoy the "Gershwin of Brasil," you may wish to add "Strollin'" to your music library. Thanks.

Strollin' Through Hopewell (Passeando Por Hopewell) -- JB Abbott

This song was released as a single on July 5, 2021, composed and performed in fond and respectful memory of my comrade in arms and independent musician, Darryl Clark. Cancer claimed him in November 2020, and anyone who knew or performed with Mr. DC was inspired by his spirit.  A portion of retail sales will be donated to The John Theurer Cancer Center at Hackettstown Medical Center here in NJ.
