Thanks MICHAEL ~ Love the abstract it conjured up Chopin\'s Revolutionary as performed by JOHN LILL on our BECHSTEIN GRAND @ College ! I totally agree My Dad is an Amateur Concert Pianist & Church Organist and several of my Extended Family are classical musicians. I attended Classical Concerts @ Liverpool Philharmonic Hall when I was Young and my Dad always insisted I went dressed in my Sunday Suit and when \"To Clap or not to Clap ~ that was the question !\" My Dad was born in the 1950\'s but is a touch Edwardian like my Great Grandad (who died when I was a child) who was born in 1903 ! Pop concerts are wild (I blame Elvis & the Beatles) ! When we have JAZZ Concerts @ College there is an OPEN BAR and people walk in and out with a PINT which I deplore ! last time I visited the OPRY (Nashville TN) it was the Johnny Cash Memorial Concert (2003) orchestrated by KRISS KRISTOPHERSON ~ there was some Whoopin\' & Hollerin\' but also great respect and reverence because of the occasion. Country Music Concerts are generally more modulated than POP CONCERTS. Folk Music Concerts and Open Mic Concerts & Karaoke are CRAZY ! Yours Musically Nephew Brian ~ Please check my TIME BOMB (sorry POEM !) ~ Thanks B !

I agree. There is a time to applaud after the show. Otherwise it takes away from the performance. Great write.

So you don\'t tune into \'common\' things like The X Factor? Far too common for you!
I understand - as Goldie says too. At some churches they request no applause, not even at the end of recitals.
But - either applaud or not. Not some feeble applause, as if clapping is just too much effort.

Very true we need to be able to hear the music at concerts. I go to jazz concerts and there the norm is slightly different as each solo played is normally given a short round of applause.
One of the most telling concerts that I have been to though was a performance of the St Matthew Passion that Joyce was singing in with Rochester Choral Society, the audience was asked not to applaud at the end, you probably wouldn\'t have been able to hear the applause over the tears.

A fine write and pic Michael. Yes, I was involved in some 1066 excavations. Well, a church fairly near us dates from 1084.
Who is Moggy- wotsit?! Or Moddy.

Life its self tends to throw a lifebuoy at certain times - when we are losing balance.
I like the way a lot of your cryptic writing demands several re-reads and a deal of thought.

A fine write and pic M. We could end up being doormats otherwise. I\'m too passive at times. Being \'nice\' is not always the best thing. Not that we turn \'nasty\' but grow a thicker skin - emotional skin, that is.
Got headache now, being all psychological this time of morning!lol.

A fine write and pic Michael. Could call them picture-poems, even without the actual pictures/drawings, if you see how I mean?
\'Stubble blond\' yes - parched grass scorched yellow these days.

Michael,
Your great sketch reminds me of my home in Italy!
The poem is intriguing!
“Time-smoothed by water’s flow.”
This line makes me think of getting older in a less stressful manner!
