A fine write and clip Gold. Our days started ages ago - before 1066 at least!

Andy,
I saw your posting a few hours ago! As Fine B said, I had never heard of Kathleen Ferrier! I couldn’t listen to the clip right away (no iPhone service for a while...I’m in flight to NYC). I finally was able to listen to the clip! What a voice!!!
I googled to learn a bit about her! The first thing that really saddened me is that she died at such a young age!
What an amazing talent...pianist & vocalist!
As I was reading your magnificent poem, I imagined you with Joyce by your side listening to that amazing music, literally brought tears to my eyes!
Thank you for the share!
Every day I’m learning something new thanks to some super poets on this wonderful site!

My soul must have gone ages ago. Well, since that fateful moment in 1066, when I mucked everything up! Just why did I turn up then?!

Hi Goldfinch60,
I have never heard of Kathleen Ferrer, but what a lovely, enchanting poem and incredible tribute to your favourite singer.
Thank you - well now I am aware of Kathleen Ferrer and will hear a track of hers sometime.
Keep writing

Music soothes the soul. It can change our mood completely. I always hate for a good one to end. Nice.

Used to listen to a tape of KF in the car but no tape playing facilities in modern cars - must get a CD.

As life goes by we in time slow down and just look more than run along side. You\'ll keep moving fine though.

A fine write and clip Gold if only I wasn\'t in such a rush, dashing about on my steed in 1066. I may have taken time to think what to say to Harold, instead of \'Look up, Sire\'.

Thanks ANDY for opening your Heart & Hearth to us all ! We were taught -(GCSE MUSIC) that a FUGUE is a musical composition using two or more voices in a CONTRAPUNTAL style. It is based on a \"theme\" that is introduced at the commencement ! It makes for very pleasant listening as in the example you have chosen for us ! Bach is a Maestro of the Fugue.
In satisfied mode with Music ~ Coffee ~ Lady & Book ~ ANDY saw that everything was Very Good ~ and the Evening & the Morning were the SIXTH DAY ~ and on the SEVENTH DAY ~ HE RESTED !
COFFEE ~ We still have a DELI that sells \"ground to order\" Roasted Jamaica Blue Mountain ~ best coffee in the UNIVERSE !
Thanks for sharing ~ you postings are a delight and always LIFT ME UP ~ Your Friend & Brother ~ Love to Joyce ~ BRIAN

Oh yes bliss indeed and must read the book - and Columbian coffee at that - oh dear that starts me off on my favourite rant - why can\'t I get proper coffee anywhere except in a few \'proper\' coffee houses. Nero, Costas etc - they haven\'t a clue about coffee varieties and origin and only serve blended coffee and haven\'t a clue about how to prepare it properly anyway - not a percolator in sight.
