Kinda interesting story about Brubeck: His pre-teen daughter loved "Take Five", and Dave loved playing it with her. Some nights, though, she was busy with home work or whatever, but Dave wouldn't take no for an answer. He started playing the the "Dum-dum-dum" beat and that alone, over and over, until she could no longer resist playing with him. She eventually always joined him.
