I like this song but the video is something to be watched.

I haven't heard that song in what seems like a lifetime. I instantly recognized it however. I'll probably listen to it a few more times today.

if i had a superpower, i would lik eto be able to go inside a really talented muscian's head and see how it worked. or a conductor.



how are musical memories stored? what connections hold certain things together with what other things?

what do artists see when they look at the same things i do, or hear? what does a memory of music look like to a musician?

i still look at the stuff artists do and try to figure out how their minds sees these things. whatever they see/hear/feel/imagine

One of my favourite "one hit wonder" songs from the seventies. I'm curious if anyone of you has heard it before.

I've never heard it before. But that doesn't surprise me. There was a lot I missed in the seventies.

I would have been surprised if you would have know the song. It was a number 1 hit in the Netherlands and Belgium only.

Here is Streisand and Niel Diamond doing doing a song that has some philosophic implications.

In January 1984, my wife of thirty years died suddenly from a coronary incident.  I had been a loyal husband and a dedicated worker determined to provide for my family. By that time we were empty nesters and we had accumulated a tiny bit of security. We were not wealthy but we were not poor.   Still I persisted with work almost all the time. I did not let her know enough, how much I loved her. Too damned busy with work all the time.

After her death I was in deep depression and after another 35 years I still damn myself for not having brought her flowers anymore.  Listen to me, you husbands out there...........do bring your wife flowers for no reason at all except that you love and appreciate her.
