Dear Dottie, Moon et al.~
Moon: That's a pretty good set of CD's, something for every occasion. So when does the big bowl start? Also I'm very glad you've found a thread to discuss matters and ask important questions, you could not have picked a better place.
Dottie: Decided not to talk about immediate circle. Anyone who posted as you did to Moon should be teaching me the facts of life:)
I rely on instinct and let the words flow -yes!
On less serious matters I listened to Tom Waits- God's Away on Business and it really appealed, not just the music and gravelly voice - but the rather cynical lyrics too.
I went and saw I, Claude Monet this morning. I'm still processing it however my overall impression is stunning. While I'm not a huge fan of his paintings - I like them - particularly the early ones -but there is no 'resonance' with me, however the whole presentation was superb!
The photography had a most difficult task, to show original related scenes, to meld painting and scene, and to traverse paintings in a natural manner that enhanced the picture. All that was done, and the original simple piano score complemented everything.
Readings from his letters were the whole script - and more than enough. His trials came though as ghastly, though in the end he was, I hope, in a pretty good place.
He felt it deeply that he was the only surviving member of the French Impressionists, and some of their works (Renoir, Degas... ) are displayed too.
I'd suggest if you get the chance - go see it.
What are you listening too now -is it still Conan?
