The magic of the deep blue seas and oceans
What would it be like to go back to the place where all life began? Only for a few minutes, perhaps, but completely without technical aids or devices. What kind of world would open up to us?

Thanks that was very interesting, Pascal. That’s practical: just wait until the next generation of music fans grows up and you can sell the old songs again 🙂 Just like in the fashion industry.

Yes very strange, but not unusual in the history of rock and pop. As far as I know, the song Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da was not released as a single by the Beatles and that’s why the Scottish band Marmalade was able to land a number 1 hit in the UK with their cover version. They are said to have worn Scottish kilts during their presentation. Well.
Later in the 80s and 90s there were often two versions of a song in the charts. For example, the song “Self Control” by the Italian singer Raf, which was covered by Laura Branigan in the same year. I never understood why a song was covered so quickly.

Hi Jung, thank you for the entertaining walk through the world of arts. Your little private exhibition grows constantly. Imagine only some of the pictures would be in your private property, then you could immediately go into retirement.
How many of the pictures I have recognized, I can not say exactly. At least I have seen some of these at exhibitions. I personally found the portrait of the Mona Lisa quite unspectacular. But this is also due to the fact that you have to stand in a queue and then stop just before the picture only a short time. The portrait is not particularly large and behind the thick glass screen it does not come out particularly well. But I have seen some very impressive huge murals in the Louvre. Some of them were 7 or 8 meters wide (maybe 26 feet). The people on these pictures were painted almost in life size (the people of earlier times were not particularly tall either). 🙂
The frescoes of Michelangelo in the Sistine Chapel I found very impressive. But this is where my expertise as an art connoisseur ends. Yes in life you sometimes know more things than you think you know.

Thanks David for the extra dry but as always very good and informative explanatory notes.

Jung will be able to cope. At least you didn’t pull out the surfboard, David.
