    Admittedly a fan of Country Music, for thirty years or so I have somehow missed hearing this lady. For the past week , I have been trying to make up for that error . I give you Mary Duff , https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=owsv...rv=bSLb_SaRzVI Let me know what you think.

    And one more [ non Country ] to show she is more than Country . https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FNCdhzcFSNs

    Have I posted this one before…I don’t think so? It is from a well received British movie based upon real events — Brassed Off. I have not been able to find the movie streaming yet…it seems like it is out of rotation now, but I have it marked when it comes back. The story is about one small coal mining town in which the town has a brass band which competes in brass band completions, which are a thing in GB apparently. The mine is being closed for economic reasons, but the band is a last fling before the town goes under. This is a scene from the movie —

    PBS has a Roy Orbison tribute that they will play from time to time as a “beg-a-thon “…. Look at the background, KD Lang is a backup singer, in a DRESS! Now that’s old!

    Many times the music is surpassed by the message---this is one in which both are noteworthy and the video is poignant. May God bless all those who struggle with demons in their life and their angels who continue to love them

    This is so sad and beautiful. Even more so when you know the story behind it. Rodrigo wrote it for his baby who was still born. He almost lost his wife. The strumming is the beating of his wife’s heart. The louder pieces are his anger at God for taking the life of his baby. At the end there is acceptance as to what is Gods will, no matter how cruel. The strumming also stops as the baby is born �� and the music becomes peaceful. It’s is a very profound and moving piece. Powerful and deep.

    "Gabriel's Oboe"

    Some instruments, simply by their tonal qualities, invoke a mode in me. When this begins to play I am moved to change my listening from passive to active

    Many times there is some unseen and unknown order to the music that I listen to. Some is simply "there" in the background, at other times there is something that makes me sit back and turn my attention to what is playing.

    Last Tuesday was an annual celebration in the Catholic Church in rememberance of those who have died and I have been thinking often of my best friend who passed away 7 years ago. This morning I was "grabbed" by this song by Russell Watson performed in London's Royal Albert Hall.

    I then took the time to send an email to a long list of friends who may have the same reaction to this that I had. I received the following response from one of those:

    Hi Dave,
    Just wanted to thank you for forwarding that beautiful song. Of course, I am still crying. My cousin's son who was 37 just died on Friday evening of COVID and left a wife and 3 children. The funeral is tomorrow. I am going to read it at the gravesite.

    Again, many thanks. Hope to see you this coming Saturday.

    Dawn
    The lyrics:

    Someone To Remember Me
    Russell Watson

    I hope you see as you look down
    All of this love gathered around
    I hope you hear what people say
    I hope you know the role you play
    You were my rock
    You were my shield
    This space you leave
    No-one can fill
    You held the room
    You cast a spell
    You'll always be remembered well
    And when my days have come and gone
    I hope I leave more right than wrong
    I want to feel this love I see
    When I am gone I hope there'll be someone to remember me
    Though you're not here
    Not here with me
    A part of you will always be
    I'll hear your laughter
    I'll see your smile
    I'll feel you near, once in a while
    And when my days have come gone
    I hope I leave more right than wrong
    I want to feel this love I see
    When I am gone I hope there'll be someone to remember me
    And when the days have come and gone
    I hope I'll leave more right than wrong
    I want to feel this love I see
    When I am gone I hope there'll be some to remember
    Someone to remember me
