functionality is just one of many excuses meant to decieve us that they are rational good noble human beings ,,,, when in truth and by their deeds they prove that they have become sado/masohistic pshycopathic demons masquarading as humans .... so ., please good god help them return to goodness truth and you. and everyone else too
Beautiful, tears are welcome- in a place where there is no one to be confused by them. So many folks take tears personally and ‘feel’ that a fix is needed.
A string version, with an amazing cello, of ‘It came upon a midnight clear’ just melted me a few days ago.
At the gallery now and not too many venturing out.
It was my sister, who was killed by the "medical" profession at the age of 32, who, as a Slavic major, traveled to the Soviet Union at the time, and picked up an LP. I don't have a player, but once I do, I'll certainly post the music. Imagine an orchestra of strings, mostly violins, playing the same tune four times over. It reminds me of Beethoven's 7th,
I’m so sorry Ray 💔 Merry Christmas! Thank you all for the inspiring tear-jerking music. “Oh Holy Night” does if for me. Extra tears as I will listen to it tonight and think of the revealing path I’ve been on the last two and a half years.
I recall sitting opposite a glamorous young med student on a train up the east coast of Italy, and she spent all the time ( when she wasn't talking loudly on the phone) reading out her med notes, for revision I assume.
After a few hours I told her to stop it. Full compartment but no one else said anything about the situation. Neither for nor against.
Merry Christmas (still) and an INTERESTING New Year ❤️!!!
That music is exquisite! And so is that photograph... Thank you, Ray. Merry Christmas!

After crying worthy tears, feast -and brace yourselves upon this tale put to music by one of my favorite composers, and well-performed.
The commercials are not so vilely placed, but are still a plague and injustice- and so it goes...
Enjoy!

Playing it right now and my wife is the victim! :)
I love the orchestration right away, although I don't care for the Romantics.
Oops, this is going to take a while, so I'll put on my headphones and spare my wife. :)
If only the bulk of "us" could be so victimized...
And here sits the poor and starved romantic, basking in the timeless beauty, as it is afforded me.

Merry Christmas! The "wind" even feels artificial on this crazy morning. Sounds weird too. Stay warm
O Holy Night does it for me every time...I was crying yesterday at it being sung in English, Hebrew, and Arabic.
My wife and I have been listening to all adaptations of the Handel song all morning. :)
Have your tried German? It's a culture that is dead by now, but at one point, it was amazing.
Am reading Conversations between Goethe and Eckermann 1823-1832
As recommended by Stegiel.
Stegiel is wonderful (I am one of his subscribers), but probably not for 98% of today's readers, based on cultural and cognitive abilities. :)
Did you know that at the time of Goethe, people were reading out everything loud?
Stegiel shares what he has been reading and thinking. Which in his case covers a lot of seldom travelled ground.
I don't have the mental bandwidth to contemplate all his posts, as Stegiel is a prodigious reader.
In some scenario that probably won't happen I would like to do more heavy reading and note taking.
I don't go back and read my notes, but they helped the thinking at the time.
Substack reading is like a child at the zoo, always rushing on to the next amazing animal.
I wonder when children stop reading out loud.

Strange; I've never read out anything aloud, and I don't remember anyone around me doing that.
My husband and I, in our early days, used to read to each other. On picnics for instance, and in the car.
Our reading choices are in different directions nowadays.
