tom scott who did arrangements for everybody from michael , allon to paul mccartney the steely dan's stuff, so we had great arrangers doing the arrangements, so when we put our words to our mouths, we looked at each other and said, i think this is going to work. i am a musicow lover. because there are so many great horn sections and great hits, you could do earth wind and fire and have a great album of horn solos, so how did you figure out what made the cut? you have 12 tracks on here? >> there are 12 tracks. the most difficult aspect of making this. with thenference calls four of us, and john burke the record executive. we would all be lobbying for our favorite songs. there was probably a list of 100 songs, and we would keep chipping away at them. some were party songs, kool and the gang. great horn lines, but we want to play melodies as well, so we have to pick songs that had great melodies so a little more meat on the bones. that is why you have songs like rise which was made famous by herb albert. we were on the phone one time on a conference call the day after dave brubeck passe

tom roussey joins us with the survivor story. >> as you said, this was a commuter train. it started appearing poughkeepsie new york. its ultimate destination was grand central station but in the bronx, it suddenly left the tracks. passengers say they never saw it coming. >> they are letting trains go through. >> investigators are looking at whether speed or something else made the train derail on a sharp curve just before a stop in the new york city borough of the bronx. >> our mission is to understand not just what happened, but why it happened. >> investigators are from the d.c.-based national transportation safety board. they caught a flight from reagan national to go to the scene. the derailment left two men and two women dead and more than 60 injured. the seven-carf train, almost went up in the harlem river. service between new york city and albany was shut down until this afternoon causing ripple effect on other lines including one that goes to union station. tonight, most trains to d.c. were on time or close to it. >> it was actually kind of easy. >> considering th

tom freedman of the "new york times." then, to understand the protests that have royaled in the ukraine over the past few weeks, you have to go back a bit, to 1654. and an execution in the -- why did north korea's kim jong-un have his own uncull killed and what does it mean for the rest of the world? and how well do you know your world? you'll be surprised at what you don't know. but first here's my take, in the midst of the extraordinary spectacle of nelson mandela's funeral, in a stadium with some 9 0,000 mourners including more than 90 heads of government. a small gesture got the world's attention. on his way he shook hands with the return to the right. the focus of that hand shake ricochetted around the world. understandably, because the man obama shook hands with was raul castro, president of cuba. remember the united states does not have diplomatic relations with cuba and has a -- many wondered whether this hand shake was the beginning of a great shift in policy. i hope so. let's begin by asking whether the existing

tom sherwood was at that news conference and found out that gray didn't like the media crowd leaving the room, either. >> i want to talk about the future of the district of columbia. i am a native washingtonian. i have given virtually my life to this city. this is the washington redskins game? >> gray is a press secretary also argue we'd a reporter from the washington city paper claiming that the mayor has a stronger record on development than his predecessors. >>> and just moments ago, tom sherwood also confirmed that tomorrow he will form an expl e exploratory committee for a possible run for mayor. he's an independent and has until june to decide to launch a campaign on his own. he's the fifth member of the city council who is in the mayor's race or is considering it. he's been a member of the council since 1997. >>> just hours away now, walmart officially opens its doors in the district tomorrow. the mega retailer will open two stores. one on m street, the other, georgia avenue. we got a sneak peek inside the h street store where workers were busy getting ready. earlier this year
