I have been listening to a lot of music in the last week, as a way of clearing my mind, and helping focus some ideas that are simmering below the surface. As I was typing and updating my blog.... as usual I had the telly on in the background and they were showing Yankee Doodle Dandy (1942). Gosh it brought back plenty good memories..... the sense of patriotism. The movie gives you a sense of awe and lets you have goose bumps all over. Best part of it ... I ain't no Yank.
Right after that movie I had to take all my memories from Les Miserables by Victor Hugo. A story about the French Revolution. It give you the same sense. I can't believe I can be emotional about just simple patriotic songs. For this day I had to put up three of the top songs from that musical on my blog!! For Les Miserables I read the book - the original unabridged version about a million times ... and cried EVERY single time! *sighs* I sooo love history.
Miss Saigon, Evita is another one of Andrew Llyod Webber's musical that is base on history too.
I soooooooooo miss watching musical! I loved EVERY one of them.
It was nice talking to Dickson about playing strategies for Scrabble. For a 12 year old you are very good dear. Heee heee. I am also missing Princess badly.
So this whole day ....... its been NOTHING but Yankee Doodle Dandy and Les Miserables. Ok ... I will try and sleep early tonight. its 12am now. I'll sleep after watching history on Baghdad. Ok earlier if I can't keep my eyes open.
