ANGELA & BRIAN said:

ANGELA HERE ~ Good Evening Uncle Andy - Thanks for sharing Claire de Lune on the Theremin - An electronic Instrument controlled without physical contact invented by a Russian of the same name ! It has an ethereal sound and Claire de Lune is a composition well suited to the genre. The instrument is used in eerie film sound tracks. The nearest sound I can think of is the Celeste or the *oft castigated* Musical Saw which have a similar resonance ! Haunting & echoing !
Thanks for the Poem it reflects the 21st C attitude of never doing anything for nothing ! However that was not the example set by Jesus !

Blessings & Peace to YOU & YOURS
Love Angela & Brian & Smokey 💛💛💛

Oh dear, yes, you told us about this before in a similar poem.
I heard a tale, but can\'t say if it\'s true, on similar lines.

If only people would open their eyes to what is ACTUALLY going on in the church and with it\'s people rather than always regarding it/them as being something positive purely from their own blind faith.
But churchy type people are by and large blind and deaf when it comes to stepping outside their blind faith habit.

I wonder if your dear minister would fold up and implode if you actually pointed that out to him. Some have the appearance/demeanor of one who has never been criticised to his/her face.

dusk arising said:

Those words are so true. The law of averages proves most relationships once started will fail but as we get older and opportunities grow less maybe it\'s easier to take it too heavily.

The music, it was a thursday night, I was 15, my mate had recently joined a band as their drummer. We were at an audition for singers. After trying out four it was descision time and plain to see none of the singers had shone. Then my mate Dane sparks up \"Rich can sing can\'t ya, show \'em Rich\".So I\'d learned this Everlys song by listening to the other singers. Memorable because this was the first song I ever sang with a group of musicians..... i was offered the job but turned it down... too shy to be on a stage.... that all changed later LOL

ANGELA & BRIAN said:

Good Morning UNCLE ANDY - Love the Everly Brothers and the first song in particular ! They were an influence on Simon & Garfunkel !. When Siblings sing you get a special genetic bucal harmony as with the Andrews Sisters who were much appreciated by BING.
We can empathise with the Poem ! Brian & I had many Boy / Girl Friends - growing up - but NONE were *quite right* I was 28 when I met Brian (32) and after our First Dance (& Kiss !) we just knew we were right for each other for ever ~ AMEN !

Blessings & Peace to You & Yours
Love Angela - Brian - Smokey 💛💛💛

A wonderful title for all sorts of subjects but the one you chose of recent reality makes an exciting read Andy - wishing you a lovely break with family and friends.

Neville said:


Driving into daylight would make a great title .. bugga .. would you credit that .. having read the body of these words Andy sir I kind of got distracted from your actual title for the duration of reading your poem ...

One of them driving into daylight experiences that many of us have had I imagine .... another fine observational poem my friend ...

well its either that, or summat to do with my own age .........

\'Talk about fast food,
I had seen rashers of bacon
Thicker than that steak.\'
as a fellow foody who dabbles in the fine art of cookery as a staple hobby, I burst out laughing at the picture of that lonely steak swimming perilously from side to side upon its vast canvas plate,
Happy Birthday and best wishes for the year ahead!

Good job too, cos if you were driving into foglight you\'d be heading for a head on collision!
Where ya been then?
Motorway driving when its quiet can be so boring that you could doze off. Plenty of raptors hover over the lit motorways too, did you notice any, I\'ve seen owls over the M5 locally.

The fun you had in cooking that steak left me with a smile when you compared it to bacon - - hope your birthday had some great moments for you Andy to stack away and remember again.

ANGELA & BRIAN said:

Angela here - Good Friday Uncle Andy. Brian & I are OMNIVORES so we would brought Sirloin Steaks and enjoyed your SALMON as well *Surf an* Turf* delicious. The steak you describe is normally used for *Hot Beef Sanies on Rye !* they are called MINUTE STEAKS which has a *Double Entendre !* MINUTE (as in very SMALL & THIN) and MINUTE (as in the time it takes to fry them) ~ OK ! They are an alternative on a Barbie instead of Hamburgers Cooked in an F Pan not on the griddle ! Very tasty avec Moutarde Anglaise !

Blessings & Peace to You & Yours
Love Angela - Brian - Smokey XOXOX

dusk arising said:

I had fast food last week eating a corned beef sarnie on the motorway at 70mph. 33 seconds per bite... any faster than that = indigestion, i.e. 80 mph.

Oh.... and many happy returns. May you live long enough for your daughter to have to buy a larger cake tin to enable al those candles to be placed neatly on top.

I did a similar poem, including \'the last trump\'. Trumpet that is, not a certain emission, or The infamous Trump.
