Recorded by The Beatles IN SPAIN there was a man by the name of Alonso Quijano who liked to read. He especially liked to read books about chivalry Don Quixote and honorable adventures. He & Sancho Panza. liked to read these books so much that he could not get enough of them. You might say that he was obsessed with these books. He even went so far as to sell off acres of his farm so that he could buy more and more books about chivalry. Eventually, the story goes, he couldn’t sleep; all he did was read to the point that his brain dried up and he completely lost his wits! In his dried up mind, he decided that he actually was one of these chivalrous knights that he had been reading about. He left everything behind to travel the world righting wrongs and having chivalrous adventures. He even changed his name to Don Quixote de la Mancha. Perhaps you have heard of him. Don Quixote outfitted himself with rusty armor and a cardboard helmet and set out to right wrongs all over Spain. He rode a broken-down old horse named Rosinante. He met another man name Sancho Panza and convinced him to be his squire. Sancho rode a donkey named Dapple and together these four creatures made quite a showing. One day as Don Quixote and Sancho were traveling, they came to a hill; at the top of the hill was a huge dragon swinging its arms. To Don Quixote, this was an opportunity to display his skills as a “knight-errant” (even though he really didn’t have any skills). Not to mention the fact that the monster at the top of the hill wasn’t a dragon at all, but an ordinary windmill! Still, Don Quixote, being a noble knight in his own mind, thought he needed to battle that dragon and save the country! “Squire!” he called, “Bring me my lance! I will slay that dragon for I am a brave and noble knight!” “But sir, that’s not a dragon! It’s just a, uh, a windmill,” stammered Sancho. “Nonsense!” bellowed the knight. “Of course you would not know, for you are but a lowly squire! I on the other hand, am Don Quixote, righter of wrongs, doer of good and chivalrous deeds.”

With that, he charged up the hill on the back of Rosinante. It is important (or maybe unnecessary) to say that the battle did not go well. The dragon/windmill was not slain or even subdued by this Knight of the Woeful Countenance. After the fierce battle, Sancho picked his master up, loaded him on to Rosinante and slowly retreated as the dragon’s arms kept turning in the wind. What can one learn from a woeful Spanish knight with a seemingly dried up brain? Perhaps it is this. There will be battles to be fought in life. There will be struggles to overcome and no matter how noble the cause, sometimes the dragons will win. Perhaps the lesson of Don Quixote de la Mancha is that, win or lose, what is important is to consider carefully the challenges we face and to make certain that the causes we champion are always noble. True, sometimes the dragons will win. But if Don Quixote our cause and called himself motivation are a knight-errant, honorable, and a soldier who our efforts truly wanders the chivalrous, we can land in search of ways to prove still hold our heads his bravery and up high, rise up from win the approval defeat and of his ladylove. continue our quest to make the world a better place. We can be— Don Quixote. –John Jacobson

ONE2ONE with nikki yanofsky

iven some of the songs that she sings and some of her musical influences, you might think Nikki Yanofsky had years of experience behind her. If you close your eyes, she even sounds like a veteran performer. But this 18-year-old Canadian is merely a giant talent in the body of a pretty typical teenager. Born in Montreal, Canada, Nikki Yanofsky has been singing since she was a toddler. Her dad, a musician himself, noticed that even when she was very young, she had absolutely perfect pitch. Like many kids, she loved singing and eventually, Nikkiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dad let her perform with his cover band around Montreal. Word quickly spread about the talented youngster and she was invited to open the famed Montreal Jazz Expo in 2006 at only twelve years old. That debut led to an incredible opportunity â&#x20AC;&#x201D; singing the Canadian national anthem at the Opening Ceremonies for the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, a performance seen by millions of people

really, truly does love. Somehow, she managed to relate to the song and to the audience and find her perfect place in the performing world. In fact, her love of animals and her decision to use her fame for good has led Nikki to become quite a philanthropist (someone who gives back to the community). She has performed at a wide variety of concerts and events that have raised over ten million dollars to benefit animals, children, or those in less fortunate circumstances. Her charitable work has led to several awards recognizing those efforts.

worldwide. She was also chosen to record the song “I Believe” (see pp. 10–11), which became the anthem for Canadian spirit during the games and rocketed to the top of the Canadian music charts.

But Nikki’s first love is music, and she continues to perform, record and write music that she hopes will connect her to music lovers both young and old. Talented, bright and ambitious—those are three words that describe Nikki Yanofsky. They are also attributes that say we’ll be hearing more from Nikki in the future. Let’s keep our eyes and ears wide open!

After that, Nikki Yanofsky became an overnight sensation. Her parents, who became her managers, realized that keeping her life normal after such success was going to be a challenge. But Nikki proved that she not only had a mature voice, she also was a mature young woman and she wisely made sure that she made good choices on and off the stage. Although her performing schedule forced her to miss a lot of school, she kept up on her own and managed to complete her studies. Back in the music world, Nikki became known for her ability to sing jazz standards in a style reminiscent of some of the greatest jazz singers of all time, including Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday and Natalie Cole. And yet, despite the fact that Nikki’s been called a lot of things—talented, musical prodigy, amazing—she would prefer that you not label her as a jazz singer. Although she can “scat” better than singers that are years older than her, she’d rather not let that define her or her talent. She loves singing jazz, but she also enjoys blues, standards, folk and pop music. She has even begun to write her own songs.

Watch the online video interview with NIKKI YANOFSKY and answer these questions:

1 Who is Nikki’s favorite singer and also her biggest influence?

2 How old was Nikki when she performed at the Montreal Jazz Festival?

3 What song made Nikki famous for her scat singing? 4 What big event did Nikki sing at when she was 16 years old?

Some of the music that Nikki performed early on was about subjects that were beyond her life experiences. For instance, the song “At Last” is one of the greatest jazz love songs ever written. But when she first sang it, in her early teenage years, Nikki decided to dedicate it to her dog that she

is a traditional folk song that was widely sung throughout the Southern United States and was also known in the New England states. Like many folk songs, the lyrics are funny and playful, with the nonsense refrain, “Hey dee-ing-dum diddle-ally-ay.” The melody and chords are simple, so the song is easy to play with folk instruments like guitar, banjo and fiddle.
