Hi Jung,
Mozart’s Piano Sonata No 14, 2nd movement is hauntingly familiar. Has it been used in any soundtracks? I find it very relaxing. I like the ebb and flow of it. I think it is actually slowing down my heart rate.

Hi Allan,
A Day In The Life was definitely a highlight of the show. They played it towards the end. He is really something to watch as he becomes one with his guitar, or vice versa. We were so glad we got to see him.

We saw him in Kingston, NY a couple of months ago. The show was phenomenal. That was on his tour with Johnny Depp. Definitely a night to remember.
RIP Jeff

Leave Alone alone? Should it remain as is? An original song written by two very old-soul twelve year olds. The performance on the Live Stream was mesmerizing. We have come to cherish those live Duo Sessions, but maybe it should remain as is, a delicate timepiece of the band’s beginnings.
What am I saying? It screams for a proper Duo Session.

I have to confess that sometimes when I hear the title I get that song by Heart stuck in my head.

That looks kool, Jung. I love the shot toward the end with the four cargo planes flying by.

Hi Jurgen,
Tongue-tied and twisted, just an earthbound misfit, I remember seeing Star Wars at the local mall cinema the summer it came out. It may have been opening day, but I can’t say for sure. I was ten. My friend Dan and I went to a matinee show. We were pretty pumped that we were allowed to go by ourselves, and young enough not to be embarrassed having our Mom’s drop us off. I remember what you described. The big screen and the surround sound made that flyover feel like forever.
Floyd’s Learning To Fly sounds great at 11. The band claims that the backing track of the pilot speaking on his radio is actually a recording of drummer Nick Mason’s first solo flight. It was around this time that he and Gilmour got their pilot’s license. I have always struggled with one line from that song. “A soul in tension that’s learning to fly….” I hear it as, ”A sole intention, that’s learning to fly” LOL I think the latter makes more sense.

“Point Me at the Sky” is a single from Pink Floyd not to long after Syd Barrett was replaced with David Gilmour. 1968 That’s Dave singing the lead and he and Waters sing the chorus. Their voices sound very young. My favorite part is:
And if you survive till two thousand and five
I hope you’re exceedingly thin
For if you are stout you will have to breathe out
While the people around you breathe in, breathe in, breathe in, breathe inHere are the complete lyrics and a promo film:
Hey Jean, this is Henry McClean
And I’ve finished my beautiful flying machine
And I’m ringing to say
That I’m leaving and maybe
You’d like to fly with me
And hide with me, babyIsn’t it strange how little we change?
Isn’t it sad we’re insane?
Playing the games that we know and in tears
The games we’ve been playing for thousands and thousands and thousands andJumps into his cosmic flyer
Pulls his plastic collar higher
Light the fuse and stand right back
He cried, “This is my last goodbye”Point me at the sky and let it fly (Point me at the sky and let it fly)
Point me at the sky and let it fly (Point me at the sky and let it fly)
Point me at the sky and let it flyAnd if you survive till two thousand and five
I hope you’re exceedingly thin
For if you are stout you will have to breathe out
While the people around you breathe in, breathe in, breathe in, breathe inPeople pushing on my sides
Is something that I hate
And so is sitting down to eat
With only little capsules on my platePoint me at the sky and let it fly (Point me at the sky and let it fly)
Point me at the sky and let it fly (Point me at the sky and let it fly)
Point me at the sky and let it flyAnd all we’ve got to say to you is goodbye
It’s time to go, better run and get your bags, it’s goodbye
Nobody cry, it’s goodbye
Crash, crash, crash, crash, goodbye
Crash, crash, crash, crash, goodbye
Crash, crash, crash, crash, goodbye
Crash, crash, crash, crash, goodbye
Crash, crash, crash, crash, goodbye
Crash, crash, crash, crash, goodbye
Crash, crash, crash, crash, goodbye
Crash, crash, crash, crash, goodbyeSongwriters: Roger Waters, David Jon Gilmour. For non-commercial use only

Now I realize the above is 6:41. I am also counting that one second after where you realize you have been smiling the entire time and you say to yourself,”Nice!”
Happy New Year!

A drone over Cairo. It is quite lovely in the Fall. This is what it’s like where we live.
Now we actually live in the town of Leeds, NY. The closest bigger town is Cairo, NY. And then the next biggest is Catskill, NY. I grew up a couple hours north of here where we had shopping malls, big schools. I moved down here twenty years ago when I met Marlo. She was born and raised here.
We are a couple hours north of NYC on the Hudson River. This next one is shot from the town park. That white steeple is the church where Marlo & I renewed our vows. I have come to love the absence of noise around here.
And here is one of Catskill, NY
It didn’t take long for me to learn how to pronounce Cairo, NY. I was constantly corrected. We pronounce it Care-oh. I have come to believe, never confirmed, that it’s like a secret password. We can always tell who the outsiders are. Cairo pronounced kie-roe is in Egypt. When we hear a tourist ask for directions to “kie-roe” we all have a good laugh. When we get mentioned on the news, it’s almost always “kie-roe”

Great idea, Jung. The houses are laid out in some interesting patterns. I like the hillside setting. I’m not sure if there are any drone videos for around here. David, is New Classic a furniture store? The outside deck looks pretty kool.

These Christmas songs have become traditions here. They really capture the Christmas spirit with their home movies, candids of their stroll through the markets, and smiles bright enough to light the highest tree. And their voices sound amazing. They truly ring of Christmas Joy. They are very catchy, too.
After watching Wonderful Christmastime just now, I am feeling very Christmassee . Hmm, I wonder where Marlo put the Christmas cookies.

I would love to see Alone in a Duo Session
-
I agree. I understand the temptation to preserve the moment for down the road, but I can’t see how watching a show through a camera is worth it. And like you said, a lot of them come out pretty crappy.
I prefer to enjoy the moment. It can be annoying when someone near you is trying to film the show.
Everyone should just put their hands in the air like they just don’t care.

Cheers Tom,
You totally dated yourself. I was only three in 1968.
I worry our GPS devices are going to control our travel like HAL. Mine knows all my driving habits. When I approach an intersection where any other day I would instinctively turn left, Siri starts man-splaining the next turn in a very condescending tone. “At the stop sign, pause, look both ways and when clear, turn right. You’re not going to work today, you’re going to the store.”
