So many tales to be told of that night. Your final verse a magical trip in itself.

Love chet, hate acrostics.
Wonderful toothless fluffy trumpet and in later years a wonderfully worn voice and phrasing.
The late stuff was really him at his best which is not how things usually work out for musicians. But there again he didnt fade away, took a dive out of a window to an abrupt end.

You\'re never to old to learn a bad new trick. My 5\" screen phone is too flippin small to want to spend too much time squinting at it and laptop too big.

My mum is 62 and on her phone more than me! They had to keep waving that no mobile phone sign to her in the theatre!
Every occasion needs a selfie, especially with her favourite daughter!
The older generation eh?
On topic!

Andy,
Good Morning!
I enjoyed the video and the poem!
I must admit, I’m an owner of one of those “mobiles”! I will also admit that I don’t own a computer! If I didn’t have this device that I’m using right now, I wouldn’t be able to send you this message! For my purposes, I find having this device to be very convenient because it is small enough to fit anywhere! I do travel quite a bit.
To each his/her own...
I guess!
I hope you’re getting a lot of R & R this week!
Have a wonderful day!
I’ll be indoors today. The temperature outdoors is -17C!
My love to Joyce and to you!

nowt so strange as folk... maybe it said more about your expectations... tho I would probably agree... Did you know there is no reason whatsoever to be told or expected not to use your mobile in a GP practice or hospital waiting area.... if anyone says turn it off or it interferes with this or that, tell them to go take a hike....we used to let anyone use their mobile at our old surgery & clinics.....rant over.. nice poem...

Love the SAX Uncle Andy : always COOL : perhaps too cool for classical : but it has apperaed once or twice on the Proms ! BRIAN refuses to have a MOBILE : He calls it the FOBILE MOAN of the Mobile Phone (spoonerism ?). I do need one in case Im called in if one of my Clients is in Emergency. Im ON CALL 6am to Midnight ! Teens live on their Phones & Tablets (not paracetamol !) but i do see more 50+ using mobiles in PUBLIC. Your Poem is a Gem : reporting Society Today !
Blessings & Love for YOU & JOYCE :
ANGELA (NZ) 🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡
Ive added CLIFF (Summer Holiday) please check !

A fine write Gold - Modern oldies?! Title reminded me of a long word (ooh). Zacharias, John Baptist\'s father, could not speak a while, after seeing an angel in the Temple - Psychophonosthenia. \'Soul-sound-less\'. Psycho-phonos-thenia. Bit early in the day for these long words! Too early for an unwatered scotch?

Goldi my heart goes out to you in the problems of tending dementia - -- it must be such a challenge and the verse states plainly that those caring for dire disability have to take rest. Hoping your week will bring you pleasant sleep and more relaxation dear friend.

Thanks again UNCLE ANDY for another very moving POEM. It prepares us for similar should we ever have to face it. God tells us \"His Grace enables us to bear all things\" You have spoken lovingly of being with JOYCE and GOD also provides respite to enable you to gain the Physical & Spiritual strength to lovingly recieve Joyce back again ! True Love is victoriuos in all situations. It enables ANGELA & I to rejoice even though we are 11,500 miles apart. However we can phone & write & because it is 2019 talk face to face on Skype everyday.
Every Blessing & Love to you BOTH ~
BRIAN & ANGELA 🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡
Love KF ~ perfect song for the Poem ~ B & A 🧡

A sensitive write Gold. We were glad when our manager went on holiday, but that\'s a different situation! More like \'While the cat\'s away, the mice will play\'.
A friend\'s father is in a Care Home permanently. He is 97, though my friend has lived in his own place for years now.

We are born human Goldfinch. Every instinct a bratty child exhibits is human instinct, human nature. We are taught about spiritual matters to \'improve\' us. One of the great contradictions which western religious folk wont face up to is that we are supposed to be created in gods image... therefore our basic instincts are godly. Killing, robbing, raping, etc etc...
Why so many half baked contradictions in that bible? If created in that image why do we need commandments?
All religions teach \'follow me and do as i say\' except Buddhism which shows ways to enlightenment without the need for any god.

GOOD MORNING UNCLE ANDY : Love ELLA and this song : made me think of MY BRIAN ! Its 11pm TUESDAY here so a good song to go to bed with ! I agree with the sentiment in your Poem : we all have a Spirit within us which motivates us ! As committed Christians we are also indwelt by the Holy Spirit which empowers us to show Love : Joy : Peace and the the other six Fruit of the Spirit : this makes us truely HUMAN. In my JOB as a PHYSIOTERRORIST I need an abundance of TLC because all my Clients are hurting and I need a healing touch to restore their confidence & mobility ! Because I am filled with the Holy Spirit I am a much better PHYSIO. TLC is also a Fruit of the Spirit. The same is true of Brian as a Teacher & Student Councellor ~ AMEN !
Blessings & love to you BOTH :

Indeed so! A fine write Gold. A really important point, I think. Otherwise (the Christian view, or Protestant emphasis) we are trying to earn and gain our own salvation. It can\'t be done.
It\'s like a bridge illustration - if no bridge, we may even get 99% across a gap by our great good deeds, but we still fall in the ravine.

Hi UNCLE ANDY : Love Miles : great horn & great Jazz Classic one of our Favorite. Im trying to be a more COHERANT POET : wit a little help from BRIAN. My POEM for tomorrow \"WELLINGTON\" the capital of NZ : is a \"Barrel Acrostic\" but alas it does not follow Briab\'s strict syllabic rubric. However I am reminded that MODERN POETRY is sans : form or function or grammar etc it is simply WORDS : but not necessarily in the right order ! My only criteria for a POEM is that (like all Burns poems) it must be recitable and in the reciting give \"pleasure\" ! That usually demands a snippet of Rhyme & Rhythm & Reason !
Blessings & Love to you BOTH
