Island of Dreams.
dusk arising said:

The island is there because you believe in it, i guess it;s a part of your faith.
I\'m smiling thinking about one of your previous pieces about a drug. Well i think the drug we\'re high on is working for both of us.

Island of Dreams.
ANGELA & BRIAN said:

ANGELA HERE - Good Morning !Thanks UNCLE ANDY I found your video (Rachmaminov 2) and your poem very uplifting as I face another day of Ministering to People with broken dreams & limited mobility. Many of my clients tell me *You have the hands of an Angel* which is very true ! My Parents christened me ANGELA (Spanish for Angel) that I might be used of GOD in the World ~ AMEN. Back to the Poem. In all our minds there is *A Beautiful Isle of Somewhere* where Peace reigns and we will all be reunited with our Loved ones again ! However we will only be there when we pass from the PHYSICAL to the SPIRIT(UAL) dimension. I follow the accepted Catholic (Biblical) Doctrine in this matter - OK.

Blessings & Peace to YOU & YOURS
Love Angela & Brian πŸ’›πŸ’›πŸ’›πŸ’›πŸ’›

A Hundred Years Ago.
orchidee said:

So - you was both there in person a hundred years ago? Was she around in 1066 too?! I\'m in contact with an old primary school penfriend still, from about 50 years ago now - or should it be 50 million years?

Empty House.
ANGELA & BRIAN said:

ANGELA HERE (Late lunch break) Love this Music - especially when Im feeling melacholy & blue ! Its a perfect accompanyment to your very melancholy Poem. Your visual reminds me that *Recreation* can be an antidote (but never an answer) for the lonliness caused by the absence of a loved one.I felt it in NZ in he latter days - when Ruth had gone home - and I was alone and my heart ached for BRIAN 24/7 ! BUT he did come for me eventually - and when I saw HIM I just broe down and wept or JOY ! I never realised just how much noise in the house - another person made. So in a small way I can empathise. In your case it is so so sad because (on this Earth) your physical (but not spiritual) separation is permanent. The silence is eerie - gone is the Music - the Laughter the Presence. We think of You & pray for You every day.

Blessings & Peace for You & Yours
Love Angela & Brian πŸ’›πŸ’›πŸ’›πŸ’›πŸ’›

Empty House.
Michael Edwards said:

I read this and felt myself welling up - (selfishly ?) I thought of myself and wondered how I will feel if my dear wife should pass before I do - then I thought of you and all that you must be going through - my heart goes out to you Andy.

Empty House.
dusk arising said:

It is still early days. Such a major change in your life will have it\'s low times even for the most forward looking of person.
Let me say this.... whilst feeling low I would play some music which took me deep into that low, it\'s necessary to go there from time to time. And the benefit is that you will not stay low, a different lifted frame of mind will prevail and become your strength again, refreshed.
Springtime is ahead.

Adam Shirley said:

I envisioned the empty house, and the moment you wrote about the write and his passed away wife, I felt a somber feelingβ€” however it is truly beautiful what you captured. I envisioned it all, great piece Goldfinch.

A sad and thoughtful write Gold.

So Much Music.
ANGELA & BRIAN said:

BRIAN HERE ~ Good Morning Uncle Andy thanks for the Video ! We love the CLARINET an instrument which lifts the woodwind section in an Orchestra ~ AND ~ as a Liquorish Stick is an essential in any Trad Jazz sextet ! Its musical range is very direct on the ear. My Dads MANTRA is *Music Maketh Man* he is an amateur Concert Pianist & Church Organist from a Teenager ! Some of my Cousins studied Classical Music and when we communicated by e-mail and CD I did warn them that the World of Music is infnite. When we get married in April ~ Angela & I will have over 400 CDS between us with few duplicates. Before we start our Family our Guest Bedroom will double as a Music Room ! All my CDS are numbered - classified and stored on bespoke shelves. I now have ALEXA in the Kitchen and she is a great Musical Reservoir. Thanks for the POEM ~ there is a 100 times more items of NEW RECORDED MUSIC produced each week MONTH than we could possibly listen too ! Angela subscribes to the Classic FM (her fave in car radio station !) Magazine which increases her stack (also neatly arranged and catalogued !) of CDS. Music is a Passions of both of US ~ AMEN !

Blessings & Peace to YOU & YOURS
Love BRIAN & ANGELA

So Much Music.
orchidee said:

A fine write Gold. Yes, and so many hymns/choruses/songs I don\'t know the tunes and/or words too.
It don\'t help if the choir just sings merrily on, and no-one in the congregation knows the hymn. Are they teasing us?
How\'s your repertoire?!

Medicine of Laughter
ANGELA & BRIAN said:

Bon apres midi - Notre Oncle Andy ! I hope youre smiling - we sure are after watching the video ! It takes more than a virtuoso to parody Mozart - and make it sound funny - it takes a CLOWN ! Alas (with the passing of Sir Ken Dodd) they are a bit thinner on the ground and considered non-PC ! I remember when we went to the Circus (in the last Century !) there were always Musical Clowns ! Virtuosity plus Humour rare combination - One recalls Victor Borg & Les Dawson etc. The SCOUSE MANTRA is : Laffter can unfurrow a brow - invert a frown - and (for a short while at least) banish all your cares & woes - Some folk say the same about CROQUET - AMEN !

Blessings & Peace to YOU & YOURS
Joyces Star will be Happy to look down & see You Smiling
and (what is even better !) encouraging us to smile with You !

orchidee said:

Good write Gold. Not being a grump, but it said on telly: \'New comedy coming\', then showed hideously unfunny trailers. I ranted at the telly and replied \'Where? Laugh? I never even started!\'. Some good comedy shows in 1970\'s/80\'s though.
