Hope you feel well soon.

The first recording from 1935 featured Barber himself on vocals. After recording the song in New York, he and the quartet went out and got drunk.

Good evening, Maestro! I'm sorry I have not been able to respond to your many posts of splendid music. I have been waylaid by circumstances not of my making.

I look forward with great anticipation to the Barber "Dover Beach." I am well familiar with Arnold's poem. In my undergrad class in Victorian Poetry we read this poem in juxtaposition to Byron's "Childe Harold's Pilgrimage:"

"Roll on, thou deep and dark blue Ocean - roll!
Ten thousand fleets sweep over thee in vain;
Man marks the earth with ruin – his control
Stops with the shore; -- upon the watery plain
The wrecks are all thy deed, not does remain
A shadow of man’s ravage, save his own,
When for a moment, like a drop of rain,
He sinks into thy depths with bubbling groan,
Without a grave, unknell’d, uncoffin’d, and unknown."

"Dover Beach:"

"Ah, love, let us be true
To one another! for the world, which seems
To lie before us like a land of dreams,
So various, so beautiful, so new,
Hath really neither joy, nor love, nor light,
Nor certitude, nor peace, nor help for pain;
And we are here as on a darkling plain
Swept with confused alarms of struggle and flight,
Where ignorant armies clash by night."

They just don't write them like that anymore. They lack the knowledge, the discipline, and the grace to do so.

"I am an American fighting man. I serve in the forces which guard my country and our way of life.
I am prepared to give my life in their defense."

A Early Happy 3rd Birthday
To Maddi!!

[SandRat]

She’ll LUV IT!!!

[Kathy in Alaska]

You delivering either?

[luvie]

I was hoping that the animated animals would attract her! :)

[The Mayor]

No, too far away. I have a couple truckers I throw deliveries to. I will do a one day drive, no longer than that any more.

[SandRat]

As I said She'll LUV it.

Great thread honoring our hard-working troops,Kathy! (((hugs)))

[Kathy in Alaska]

Home safe and sound. Just set up the ramp and Mom drove out onto the deck to check her flowers.

Emergency!! Just back. Thank God I have a baby monitor in the living room. I faintly heard my name. Ran out there...she had fallen. Called the gentleman next door, from Tibet and family in the huge quake. Next door is, maybe, assisted living. He said call any time. I did, he came fast, and got her into her chair.

How did you fall? Did you try to stand? NEVER try to get out of Reggie without turning him off. She is NOT supposed to stand without a hand rail if I am not here. GRRRR!!!! She’s fine, I think. Will check her later.

Ok, heart rate returning to normal. So much for my chiropractor adjustment yesterday.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good night and sleep tight, ML...((HUGS))

Have a Fabulous Friday!!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good night, my. Thanks for helping honor our military, and thank you for your service to our country.
