Roy Orbison - In Dreams

                     

I read that Roy Orbison did not give permission for this song to be used in the movie "Blue Velvet". However, this surreal movie uses his song beautifully, and "Blue Velvet" remains one of my favorite films today.
I love the shades on the violin section, and the stage filled with amazing talent.

Andre Rieu - Il Silenzio

When I was boy Memorial Day was May 30th. It was the biggest parade of the year, and it was in memory of my Uncle Ray killed in the Philippine Islands.

Since then the day has changed, but the memory remains. I have added many more to my list of names, and I remember them today.

Van Morrison - Into the Mystic

Stop the clock!!! I can't believe I am 65. Woo hoo the good old days are getting older, and sailing 'into the mystic' is creeping closer.

But you know that's ok because it just seems to make today brighter, clearer, and so worth savoring.

We never need to stop trying to understand ourselves more. We never need to stop asking questions. It is life. It is being alive. Sail on my friends.

Enjoy and embrace the good and the bad, the happy and the sad. It really does happen for a reason.

Eric Clapton - San Francisco Bay Blues

Did you have a kazoo when you were a kid? It really is not always so difficult and expensive to find pleasure in life. Is it?
See ya later. I am going to go buy a kazoo or two!
