For pities sake - since joining MPS it has taken over my life. I spend more time on this site than I do much anywhere else. There\'s the correspondence - always something to respond to, argue for, reach a conclusion about. Then there\'s the music you , DA and others are constantly throwing up for my delectation and delight. Got to keep up.Time and effort involved.
Oh yeh - doesn\'t someone do a bit of poetry in there somewhere?
Love it all - even if I\'m mostly wandering around in a swampy daze, wondering when I can next get up close and personal with my PC and MPS.
Cheers Dave

Well, what can I say about Weather Report.... I have all the studio albums they recorded and some of the live ones. I think the live one\'s are really only appreciated by their fans tho tbh. I never got to see them,my car broke down on the M4 dammit.
You might find this link interesting, It\'s one of the tracks off an album of top jazzers playing a selection of weather report music - all the tracks should be visible on here - highly recommended.

Well needed grounding my friend, as I let go my thoughts and let the music in, each note can take me wherever it wants!
With this there can be sadness but it always ends in love, within the flow of the spirit in music I believe truly connects us!
I\'ll now be adding this to your playlist on my Spotify...

Pat Conroy once said, \"Without music, life is a journey through a desert.\" Some music is here for a while and then disappears forever, some music lasts for centuries. To each of us \"our\" music is a personal choice and as different as chalk and cheese. What you describe here is the power of music to stir the soul. It is the greatest form of communication. \"That place we all hope for\" is the ultimate ideal and exists only with music. Without it - only the desert.
Thanks for this terrific thought provoking poem. - Phil A

When it comes to the subject of music, then the lyric \"there is always something there to remind me, I was born to love you\" would seem appropriate.
Your music tastes and horizons are far wider than my humble sphere.
A poem for today\'s needs, some escapism. Away from the drudge of lockdown and approaching winter..... but join me in the guinea pig queues for the injections soon eh?

I share your joy of the beautiful world expressed so simply in your words today. Natures beauty needs no words of finery or embellishment when recounted to those who have felt that crunch of frosted grass and sunlights rays upon their face,

A good write Gold.
My poem goes: \'Each bit of ground covered in wet mud\'. I knew I should have worn me wellies. Doh!
I had to turn back once. Some Riding Stables near a country lane. I would have sunk in a bog of manure.

Good Evening Uncle Andy ~ A very wise & thought provoking Poem today. As you said in one of your replies *Graciousness in Defeat is less common in the Young than in Seniors who have more Experience* Despite our Youth ~ Angela & I try to have as our MANTRA ~ In Life & Love *Better to have TRIED & LOST ~ than never to have TRIED at all !*. The Olympics (which we love) have Silver & Bronze & *The Taking Part* as ample compensation for NOT getting GOLD ~ BUT ~ in the Presidential Race ~ there are no SILVER MEDALS ! WE always thought TRUMP was Spoiled - Arrogant - Selfish & a Bad Loser ~ NOW WE KNOW ! Thank GOD it hasnt stopped JOE & MALALA from smiling (see our Poem) and enjoying their Awesome Victory. Long may they REIGN ~ AMEN
Thanks for sharing a classic Video ! PD singing *E Luchevan Le Stelle* from Tosca .......
And the Stars were shining
And the Earth was scented
Fragrant She entered
And fell into my Arms !
Very romantic & very poignant
Blessings & Peace to You & Yours
Love Angela Brian & Smokey 💛💛💛

Oh yes, we have to be big enough and ugly enough to take it on the chin when it comes our way. All that makes us a more rounded human being. Being able to laugh at ones self is highly recomended too.

Now depending what you are referring to, I obviously don\'t mind winning, but also believe there is much value in a loss. To win I learn nothing, when I lose an argument, debate, I\'ve learnt much if i\'m receptive to it.
Take it easy, Andy

You get my vote , Andy. your piece locates music\'s role perfectly.
I\'ve taken the liberty (as I have several of your previous introductions) of passing the music link onto my lady. We will also negotiate over Cinema Paradiso - and, who knows, see it during the Festive Season.
Take care Dave

Some have the gift of embodying emotion into their creative pieces be they music, visual art, movies, the written word or the spoken word. Any soul who has reached into themself at a time of deep emotional unrest will find themselves in harmony with any such piece.
Morricone was outstanding in his ability to amplify the pathos of screenplay. The emotion of his work lives on outside the cinema environment as can be felt here.
Earlier this year at his passing i listened to several of his moving compositions and yes felt the emotions they convey. A great musician, unfairly overlooked.
