Music - And Life

and the uncertainty of it .... 'it' being our fragile life. This is not about life and death but more about the small things that make up a life... nah, not even that deep.

There has just been a very sudden passing in our family ... unexpected and devastating... two young children bereft of a father they adored. yet, this is still not about that.

So I am removed from the location of the loss but not the ties... my bestest half having flown up to be by her brothers side. I will do the seven hour drive tomorrow to be with her

So, as I do on these sad occasions ... I hold a wake. Unfortunately attended by only one, and a memory of one who I celebrate tonight.

My reveries were interrupted by the following music video.... a ridiculously well known ballad. But I could not help but be absolutely captivated by these young men performing this song. Could they EVER have imagined that they were creating a 20th century Choral Symphony equivalent? I think not ... I think they were just trying to get a record label deal to pursue their love of music.

{sigh} Not sure if this missive is my escaping from a moral (self imposed) duty to say goodbye to a good man, but I will accept whatever it is.

R.I.P my friend , you will be missed.

Sorry for my first blog of the year being so heavy, but is sad times !!!

Thank you for stopping by

Namaste
