Not sure what general title covers fish, otters, seals, whales and dolphins, but the sea life images are from Daily Mail, and the music by Joseph Blanchard.

While I was talking to Mr Blanchard, he mentioned that he has trouble keeping track of his compositions because he just sits and plays/composes and then tries to remember what it was he played. Love the problem. Suggested he only play with a recorder running.

There are enough videos of his work now that I've put the videos into a separate playlist.

You’re quite right. It’s amazing to live in a world with such variety and complexity. We always wonder if there’s life on another planet. It just occurred to me, for the first time, to think that a planet that DID have life could actually have all this wondrous diversity, and not just a lime green alien with antennae.

That is a great sunset. What are the little boxes behind the pyramid in the first photo? They look like beehives.

You’re most welcome, Revolutionary. But I have to say that my mood rises just because our president spoke last night. That always brings me such comfort.

wow. I love pics and wish they were shown a little longer. Maybe I’m just getting older and wiser and want to look at the details? Anyway, I’m going to share with a homebound friend. She’ll love it, too.

Someone suggested clicking on the gear on the bottom of YouTube, and set the speed slow so you can watch the images and mute the sound.

I do know that my body clock seems to go faster than other people's. And I'm from the laid-back midwest! I was once transcribing a late 1700s/early 1800's music manuscript into the Mozart program to develop MIDI files. I can't play an instrument and that was the best I could do. A retired musicology professor offered to help me and I divied up the pages. But when she would present me with her pieces, which I'm SURE were the right way to do them, it drove me up a wall because I couldn't stand the slow speed. So all of my MIDI pieces went like a bat out of the appropriate place.

The land animal piece is slower, but the art piece is more my preferred speed. I have one more of these to post for now, then I'm going into an experimental mode that might force a slow down. I only know one grandfather and great grandfather through newspaper articles and National Archive pictures. GGF was brought to DC by Stanton to run the investigation of Lincoln's assassination and was a special judge advocate during the trial. Later on he put together the records for LoC. GF was a newspaperman who won and lost mining fortuntes from Alaska down to Central America. Lots of material there. So I want to try moving through newspaper articles to music and see what happens.

I’m 73 and my heart-rate doesn’t seem to be slowing yet. Free Republic is just a reservoir of good information and advice. Great people!

Here’s a link you might enjoy. Henry put Yankee Doodle into his music manuscript and it’s slightly different from what we play. He probably put it in for flute, so that’s what I used for Midi. He became a Major in the Revolutionary War in 1775 and went up to invade Canada. Also left behind a diary of his Revolutionary War experiences. Little fighting, lots of defense building, most interest in the lumber and property he passed through. A civilian putting in his military time.

You are absolutely funny! I don’t eat much seafood and I never ONCE thought of any of them as food.
