Nice and easy Sunday morning, time to spin one of the classics.
Now if that does not make you feel good, you must be deaf.. Like Ludwig ?
Anyway. Ode to Joy.
Funny lot those German's, my Ancestors apparently,
Only my side of the family had the sense to get out when the Romans adopted Plan B to get us out of the Forests..
They finally caught up with us on Anglesey many years later.. no place left to hide I guess..
There's a time for everyone, if they only learn
That the twisting kaleidoscope moves us all in turn.
As I type it's just started it sounds like Karajan & the London Symph, we used to get a box at the Albert Hall and sing along to this for 5 years running best peace of music ever written, mind you Furtwängler's pretty good as well,
Who could forget that classic scene in ClockworkOrange.. I can actually sing it German… http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0066921/?ref_=nv_sr_1
Now to up the Volume
Ps: My mother Mona from Anglesey introduced me to it, classy my mum.
Hey! What happened ? Volume to the Max 'on the balcony sun, singing in de German, glass beer & a J, then it suddenly! it stopped
So now it's mine by the Berliner Philharmonic…'it's a swizz..

"The Salvation of Mankind lies in making everything the responsibility of All"
Sophocles.
I have only ever seen parts of that film, A Clockwork Orange.. I must watch the whole thing one day soon.
I bought the DVD for my son one Christmas, he probably has not watched it, so maybe I should ask him if I can borrow it back.
I was raised on the Classic's, and Musical's, but Rock and Roll was my own calling, despite the objections, and broken record players.. Time moves on and things do change, but the roots still remain..
My Childhood hero's were Peter Pan and Baloo from the Jungle Book. He still is today..
Moving on with Ludwig, If Ode to Joy is a bit too happy, then he has some nice meditative music.
It makes some people cry, but that is just clearing it all out, to make way for appreciation and happiness..
Time moves on and things do change, but the roots still remain..
