Disgraceful! Utterly shameful behaviour! I trust you were suitably chastised and made to stand in the corner.

Thanks so much Andy - I feel deeply honoured. It really means so much to receive such a tribute. I think the earlier posting to which you refer is called Correctness.

THANKS ANDY ~ You always speak a lot of sense to those of us who are still \"growing up\". The under 40\'s embrace the CYBER WORLD because we have been reared in it ! But it increasingly makes us dependent on it.I use the WEB instead of encyclopedias & dictionaries etc but in some way it is much less fun ! However there are positives like MPS ! We no longer write letters or get foreign stamps and emails are instant which increases the pace. I would love to sail to New Zealand instead of flying 3 weeks instead of 2 days ! Now with cyber conferencing I don\'t get an expenses paid trip to Heidelberg for a CHEMISTRY CONFERENCE Even in my short working lifetime (17 years) I have seen the pace of life (information / communication etc) triple and if I wasn\'t a Christian I would be stressed out. By the way ~ the pace of life in New Zealand seems much more sedate ~ so perhaps we will emigrate ! Love JAZZ PIANO and Oscar Peterson in particular ~ thanks for sharing. Its now Tuesday Morning in ROTORUA ! Angela is in the shower and sends her love ~ I\'m catching up on MPS !
Yours (in NZ) BRIAN & ANGELA. Love & Blessings to JOYCE XXXX

Andy,

The last two lines make a whole lot of sense. Sometimes I do think that these darn machines are doing their best to rule us. And who’s responsible for that? Not the machines...
Humans are!
I enjoyed the clip!
Thank you for sharing.

Love to Joyce and you!

I love this song! World War 2 was a topic for a competition I participated in and one of the fields studied was music, since then I\'ve always listened to more jazz from the 40s like this!

THANKS UNCLE ANDY: As a physiotherapist I have learned that : the expression on a persons Face is a reflection of the mood of their Mind & Spirit. At least I am allowed to tickle them and make them smile! We see a lot more smiles in NZ than the UK and we know why. The MAORI are always smiling! Brian & I both love GLEN and In the MOOD is a classic. Brian gives a lovely talk and CD presentation on the Life & Music of GLEN MILLER! Have a great DAY : Smiling is infectious : love to JOYCE : Love ANGELA XXXX

A true write unfortunately. Some may have reasons to be gloomy, I suppose. But some just grunt, without so much as a \'please\' or \'thank you\'.

THANKS ANDY ~ Love this low register rendering from AKA ~ awesome. My DAD said it took the Hit Parade by storm ~ a JAZZ / CLASSIC. I have this CD in my car and when this track comes on I always cry because I think of My Sweet Angela waiting for me on Auckland\'s Shore (Please check my POEM today ~ I could have used this tune instead of Now is the Hour ~ which always makes me cry !). I am Young enough to appreciate (and even understand !) the different ways of DOING CHURCH in the 21st C ~ I am so glad you embrace it (Scientists have inventive minds) and that the Event even move your MUSE ~ AMEN. Love your Poem and have printed it to recite in Church. Giod new that the 21st C would see a flood of \"SPIRITUAL SONGS\" and you Poem embraces them just as important as PSALM & HYMNS (A & M). Your title reminded me that ~ How often I have stood at the graveside (we tend to bury not cremate) of one who has been \"called home to glory\" and wished in my Heart that I had spoken to them more often. Especially those who became housebound and longed for a conversation ! We have been lifted up twice already ~ by Steve & now by your Good-self ! Love to JOYCE ~ Blessings BRIAN & ANGELA ~ Still in BAY OF ISLANDS NZ !

THANKS FOR SHARING ANDY ! Love the HORN and love WYNTON ~ fast & smooth ! When I\'ve a big project on my plate I often wish (and there are a few like that) who didn\'t have to sleep at all. So I go to bed late (after midnight) and I\'m always up before 7. being single helps ! The odd night i am with ANGELA is OK because she is asleep almost as soon as she\'s in BED and she likes to be up before 7am. I can\'t read or work in bed ~ Angela loves to read in bed but soon falls asleep ~ AMEN. Thanks for sharing BRIAN.

Andy,

I agree with dusk.
Why are we in a hurry?!
I really don’t miss those days when I had to “clock in” at the same time five days a week! That was stressful!

Have a wonderful day!

Love to Joyce and you.

You lost a moment in time - a few moments? Or shall we waste time with naff phrases, such as \'At this moment in time?!\' lol.
