lol.. 'enigma' - am I really that hard to understand?.... sigh...
Don't get me wrong France, I have nothing against Elgar - we listen to a LOT of British themed music in our house..Sunday morning podcasts of church music, marches, the Queen speaking on occasion (no not me ) I think my husband is home-sick - he needs a trip back to his homeland before we both go crazy... lol. I hate to say this but I've always had somewhat of a 'dislike' for marches. Probably because I grew up as a classical violinist and the 'band geeks' always thought they were better than the 'orchestra nerds' and I was their leader... I really should start to play again - I miss it...

Very impressive!! I have to say that you've lived an exciting and dynamic life full of diversity and culture France. The orchestra was lovely too.. and you're right, a better version of Elgar.
Tonight I'm going back to the eighties.. one of my favorite bands of that decade. Duran Duran's 'Hungry Like the Wolf'

Story: When we were working in Scotland I used to live in a house 20 miles from the fabrication yard and used to drive past a beaten up trailer home parked in a layby in the mountains. There was always a queue of guys (the 'bears' - the fitter welders and concreting crews) outside this trailer and I learned the place was nicknamed 'Hotel California'. It was run by 'ladies of ill repute', hookers in your terminology. So this record now brings to mind this trailer in the remote highlands of Scotland.

I'll never forget when she bought (correction - my wife bought her) the Bay City Rollers album, if you could call it that, if it was played once it was played a thousand times............so much so I really personally 'hated' them for disrupting my life. Although today I like some of the Police recordings and latterly Sting, it was the same scenario with them as well. The words 'flogging a dead horse' came to mind. Now I can play what I really like in blissful isolation from anyone and everyone and so can the wife.

...that's the beauty of retirement and having your kids out of the house I'm a big 80's fan - probably because I grew up in them and loved my MTV!
Duran Duran, U2, Simply Red, Howard Jones... Although Howard Jones makes me a little sad - I pull him out when I'm feeling a little melancholy..
Glad we moved on from the 'hooker' talk lol...
