I had the opportunity to meet Bill Clinton during a late evening signing for his new book "Back to Work." So, after I got done getting a presidential hand shake, and telling him that I thought he was the best president in my lifetime, I decided to ask a question- "What's your favorite album?"

Once it was a record store clerk that would fill me in. Of course, friends and radio were also great places to get recommendations. Today, whether on YouTube, Spotify, or blogs, everyone's a curator of sorts. So, why not get official music insight from an actual president?

Upon being asked the question, President Cllinton smiled and then looked up, pondering the question at hand. He took a few seconds, and looked back at me and replied, "Jazz Samba." He then repeated the title once more for me and smiled. 

So, I got my first presidential album suggestion. With that, I'll start checking out the full-length bossa nova release from Stan Getz and Charlie Byrd, on YouTube of course. Take a listen. It came right from a president of the United States of America, you don't get that type of music discovery every day.
