It's always fun to check in here to find out what I'm thinking. I only wish I weren't so offensive. Right now, I'm watching the candidates debate:

OK back to the classical. A little Richard Strauss..... Tiil Eulenspeigel............... and his merry pranks. This was really nice driving home to...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Till_Eulenspiegel
I went looking for Till Eulenspiegel, and found he was a merry prankster (I believe you wanted to share something of your Polish heritage? This would qualify) I love middle European fairy tales, always delightful to find a new character or story. Like Baron Munchausen..... enjoy the read! 
Listening to this right now... it's marvelous, conducted by the composer.... and this is during the war I think too. Germans had a very high regard for classical music.... I think VPO must be the Vienna orchestra.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
What is very very weird.... I stumbled into a JRR Tolkien article tonight on line, and found a mention of "Abingdon" which means nothing to me. Then I tracked down this Till Eulenspeigel and found "Two Angry Women of Abingdon"..................... jeeee!!!! talk about some synchronicity! So I'm off to look that up now............
It was written in the Elizabethan era!

I was driving home this evening, and saw the most beautiful full moon rising in the east... my front room faces east so I get to see this sometimes. Anyway I flipped on the classical station and heard this... there are many parts to it, I think I got the right one. Leo Delibes: La Source, Suite #3 (La Source means The Well) Sounded like fairies were out tinkling around in the moonlight, very lovely

Found a really cool Bond intro song I hadn't seen,,, Casino Royale. I'm thinking sorta dark thoughts right now (darn I wish the rain would stop here) this fit the mood... really beautiful graphics. Turns out David Arnold, who is a SODs chum of Justin's, did the movie score for this. He didn't write the theme song.

I'm really feeling bummed about politics right now. Suddenly I found myself walking around the house humming this Spike Jone's ditty, and decided I'd look for it on youtube .... this is a real gem. It goes downright psychotic at one point, as was not uncommon for early Disney cartoons. All hand animated too, even more jaw dropping. Hadn't seen it for years, like when I was 5, on Sheriff John. Anyway it should make us all think and remember how lucky we really are.... things are much worse in spots of the Middle East right now. Count your blessings, happy Sunday, and yes I can do this 'cause I'm a bit German (like others I could name.)

I'm going to be listening to Moody Blues. You would not believe what happened today if I told you. Somebody with more influence upstairs than me must be praying.

Nice to see you turn up.... I have several classical notes to put up, but most people who post here don't wish to share their music. 
Sure I'd believe it.

Yesterday, I got called in to work before church. Normally, I get the morning off and go to church to practice piano for an hour. But, when I left work for church, "NIWS" played on the radio, 97.7 FM for almost the entire trip.

This was sorta my day today. Jr High is an experience, not a job. Sometimes you just gotta go to that level... BTW Pee Wee has a new movie out.

Heard this the other day on BBC2: Billy Ocean with a cover of A Simple Game. It was on Ken Bruce's show here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b073qn1v. Go to about 02:04:00 to hear it fully.

How cool, Melo. I only heard snippets of it. It sounded great but not as great as the original. It's great he valued the song enough to do a cover. He must run deeper than "Caribbean Queen."

Wow. My reply disrepeared. Anyway, I've been listening to the Moodies in concert as much as possible. But driving back home last night, I listened to WTZQ, a great radio station that still has soul. Fittingly, I heard this one:

And another good song they played was this:

There's an odd glitch in the website, sometimes you have to wait a few minutes to see the post appear. Possibly they've put in a delay intentionally.
Those are both really nice songs, have that "Tijuana Brass" sound.
