Evocative

It's Saturday and all is good. The housework is done and before I finish Kelly's duvet cover I'll blog. I've been listening to two of my favourite classical albums, "The Greatest Clssical Show on Earth" and "The Best Classical Album in the World - Ever!". No doubt there is somewhere an album called "Now! That's What I Call Classics" who knows . But, almost every tune brings an occasion or person to mind. All music does that (for me anyway) but with each genre the pictures may differ.
We started with "Also sprach Zarathustra",also remembered as the theme from 2001, A Space Odessy. When number one son was younger he owned an Uno which was basically a sound system on wheels. He and his pal would enter sound-offs, where the best/loudest/whatever, car sound won. Theirs almost always did. One day Sion sat me in his car and started the music. Thus Spake Zarathustra. Well, as the music began, the car gave a gentle tremor, we had the "dum, dum, dum, dum etc" of the big drum and the car shook some more, as we reached the crecendo - accompanied by the sound of a space rocket taking off (the movie version) I truly believed we were headed for the moon.
Next up, The William Tell Overture which I can't hear without smiling and remembering a silly joke featuring naked ladies, the Titty, Bum song. Big smiles.
"Air" is a piece of music which never fails to bring goosebumps. How amazingly talented the composers were, they made such music with no modern help.
I shan't bore you with all 77 or so, next up is "Sheep May Safely Graze" the title of my first ever blog, "Trumpet Voluntary" always a reminder of my dad, an awesome trumpet player.
Pieces of music sometimes known only for their presence on a movie soundtrack but no less valued by millions.
And so to sew.
