ANGELA & BRIAN said:

Thanks for sharing UNCLE ANDY ~ You have really touched our Hearts & Minds with this one. Love the VIDEO ! Angela & I can really relate to this one as we are still growing up ! First MARRIAGE & First HOUSE next Year and then (DV) first BABY all sounds like a DREAM ! Singing is so so important. Angela & I both love singing SOLOS ~ DUETS ~ ENSEMBLES and in the CHURCH CHOIR. We do sing in Spanish ~ and other languages in TAIZE ! Last night on *Last Night of the Proms* there was an ORITORIO in a very strange language ~ but for me (BRIAN) it added PATHOS to the PIECE. My COUSIN who was a Choral Scholar sings in about 20 different Languages and contends that the words (whether one understands them or not) are an integral (and important) facet of the VOICE as an INSTRUMENT. G & S is quintisentially ENGLISH and does not translate well ~ to each their own Language. Welsh really is the language of Heaven ~ AMEN

Thanks for caring & sharing
Blessings & Love to YOU & JOYCE
Yours ANGELA & BRIAN 🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡

I\'m with you on this Andy the act of singing can be joyful in itself regardless of the outcome

Take Orchi... Couldn\'t hit a note with a bazooka but I gather he still sings (Only joking Orchi I\'ve heard you have a voice like a songbird)

Great write

Words Do Not Matter.
orchidee said:

A fine write Gold. I try to match the words of my hymn-poems with appropriate tunes, e.g. not \'O praise ye the Lord\' with words of Herod\'s massacre of the little children.
Some may look grumpy singing, but they are focusing and concentrating I think, on the words and the tune.

Words Do Not Matter.
Michael Edwards said:

I struggle with this. I agree that the voice is an instrument but it does articulate words and (religion apart) if the words are silly or nonsense then my practical and logical brain has a problem. If the words are light hearted as in G&S for example then it\'s okay but when they are presented in all seriousness then I\'m afraid I find the music hard to accept. Just me I guess. Great write nonetheless.

Andy,

‘Not a word crossed their lips’ because they valued and respected their “Silent Coffee Time”!
Loved the Johnny Cash song! He’s one of my favorites!

Laura🌻 said:

Andy,

This emotive write is exactly what I envisioned for you and Joyce!
While reading your poem, I could feel a heavy weight being lifted ever so gently...but necessary!
I’m so happy for you!

My love to Joyce and to you!

Never Lonely - Senryu.
Laura🌻 said:

Andy,

Your love for one another will never die! It will be forever and ever! It is for the best for both of you! Taking care of someone 24/7 is extremely demanding! I see it with my Aunt. Each day she becomes more dependent on me. She demands to stay in her home and be taken care of by a family member! I’m trying my best to fulfill her wish!
Now you’ll have a chance to take good care of yourself mentally and physically! Each time you visit Joyce it will be like going on a date!
I will keep her in my prayers each and every day...and I’ll envision you with your music, smiling and writing your poetry!

My love to Joyce and to you!

~Laura~

Hi Goldfinch.

A superb poem and thank you.

The simple pleasures of life are so enjoyable.

However, social media challenges this a great deal.

Keep writing

And then the other day you saw someone who did not stop talking!
A fine write Gold. I suppose things are necessary in this day and age.
But, as we know - I saw someone crossing the road on their text-phone thingy, oblivious to traffic!

Fay Slimm. said:

Caring as much as we are able will be enough and you dear friend deserve a new life where you can feel more free to come and go while your dear Joyce is being cared for now by those who are better able - - adjustment when grasped brings its own rewards and here is wishing you lots of good musical opportunities again.
