It Goes Lalalala

It's always good to end the day with a bit of music, I feel.

The Last Night of the Year

These are the last thoughts.... and you shone your love through the light of the stars...

Happy New Year Everyone!

Feathers in the Windows

"Standing before Stacy’s large glass windows this morning, I saw that they were gloriously ground by the frost. I never saw such beautiful feather and fir-like frosting. His windows are filled with fancy articles and toys for Christmas and New Year’s presents, but this delicate and graceful outside frosting surpassed them all infinitely. I saw countless feathers with very distinct midribs and fine pinnae. The half of a trunk seemed to rise in each case up along the sash, and these feathers branched off from it all the way, sometimes nearly horizontally. Other crystals looked like pine plumes the size of life. If glass could be ground to look like this, how glorious it would be!" - Henry David Thoreau - Journal, 1857

Happy Holidays Everyone! And I'll leave it to Mr. Lennon to share any other sentiments:

Just "Once", Give it a try

Do yourself a favor -- go and see ONCE, starring singer-songwriters: Glen Hansard & Markéta Irglová it's a small little film with wonderful music. I have known about them as musicians for about 3-4 months before I knew about their Dublin spotted little movie. It will have you singing along before the movie is over: a "real" musical -- not what you will expect, and absolutely lovely.
