What can be better,
Sitting down at the day’s end,
A good day that was ending.
So I was sitting with my drink
And listening,
Listening to the glory of Bach
Being played for me.
A calmness glided over me
Like a warming blanket,
A blanket of relaxation
Ending my good day
In the total wonder of his music,
Of his wonderful music.
The piano so beautiful in sound
Bring my good day to its end,
A wonderful end
To such a glorious day,
Aah Bach.

Good write Gold.
You got all my CD's? What, you never plays 'em?! No-one ever does. lol. Actually they're 78rpm records.
Thanks Orchi.
I still have some 78s plus the very first LP I ever bought

Me too I think. Did they have 78's in 1066, or what?
I read your piece and decided to then play the video and listen.
My mind was taken to a place familiar to you but possibly from the other side (the north side) of the avon. As i walked from the old bridge the wonders of springtime filled the air. Wildfowl arising into air rich with the freshly mown grass aroma promising a warm joyous summer. Families gathering to enjoy the expanse of green, picnicking, playing, frolicking, dog walking, resting, enjoying.
What a refreshing, unhurried and restful pastime with Bach in the verdant English springtime of my minds eye.
Thank you.
MY absolute please d a, so pleased I was able t take you to a wonderful place.

'ach' Bach: even, lol
that one man symbol of unrequited love, well at least in the romantic sense anyway..
a life that transcends: legend
and music, gliding effortlessly
beyond boundaries of Time and taste..
