Hmm seems to be a classical day for me. Slovak Suite - Vítězslav Novák This is not the version I have on my CD player, but it's the same piece of music.

Rhythm is a weirdly spelled word Miami's Own Gloria Estefan - Rhythm Is Gonna Get You

And I might post it again. I do listen to songs more than once. ? Here is a nice symphony by a romantic Russian master. I don't think I've posted this one before, and it'll keep me entertained for about a half hour Symphony #2 (Antar) - Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov

I think I'll cook a burger on the grill with cheese and becan for lunch today.

Nah, it goes to the diner after the gig, and then the gas tank to get home.

Mars and Venus? To tell you the truth, I don't remember. My captors (so-called parents) often lied to me. They told me the moon was made of green cheese, if I cross my eyes they would get stuck that way, and if I keep playing with it I'd go blind etc., so I can't believe that story about the birds and the bees. As for Leilani and I -- No kids, no pool, no pets, no debts, no regrets. But no harm if we keep trying :D Notes

Noise??? Crash Bang Wallop! - Raven

Well IMHO it wasn't the best song by The Residents. Here is one of my favorite Paul Desmond songs. Dave Brubeck and the others do a fine job backing him up Blue Rondo à la Turk - The Dave Brubeck Quartet That was back when the world was in black and white

The raccoons in my yard are naked. Other than masks over their eyes. Obviously to hide their identities. (not hiding their t*tties). Streakers I presume. Fortunately I don't have any children to be exposed to animal nakedness.

Drugs? I did some drugs when I was a hippie. They didn't affect me affect me affect me affect me affect me affect me affect me affect me affect affect affect affect affect . What was I saying?

Obviously he plays music for a living.

Promises In The Dark - Pat Benatar

I wonder why? What's the connection? I'm just curious.

Bump

I love those kinds of great observations, but I couldn't play the Bentley video. I'll search for it here in the USA. So we're playing on "Bentley Rhythm Ace - Why is a Frog Too?" "I Can Be A Frog" - The Flaming Lips

Pass the basalt please.

Why?

Leilani fried fish today, but they weren't blackened. Oh my cod!!! They were tasty.

Seriously... I don't know about others, but when I'm playing music, especially when gigging and improvising a solo, I get into that place where there is no space, no time, no me, no they, no words --- just the music which seems like it is flowing through me instead of from me. It's a feeling quite a bit like meditation, which 'they' say is good for the mind. (Whoever 'they' are.) So for people like me it just might be good for mental heath. I know I like my life, and if I had to do it over again, I'd choose the same career. I'm happy, I haven't missed a gig due to illness or anything else since I was in high school, and most of the time of day I'm just happy. That sounds healthy to me. I wake up in the morning, go to bed at night, and in between do what I want to do, not what someone else tells me to do. That's freedom, and that seems mentally healthy too. Insights and incites by Notes

I've not heard this one yet, but I have appreciated some of the other works by The Residents (some more than others), this one seems like it might be quirky-fun, so let's give it a go, shall we? Beyond the Valley of a Day in the Life - The Residents

Fantasy? Imagination? Imaginary Lover - Atlanta Rhythm Section

The Devil Went Down To Georgia - Charlie Daniels Band

I know, that's why the pun amuses me.
