When Music Wanders in....
Isn't in funny how old melodies seep into our consciousness suddenly..as if they reappeared out of now where and are here to stay?
I was cleaning in the hallway and all of the sudden "An American in Paris" by Gershwin came into my mind. Ah!!!Those dulcet tunes really can bring harmony in!
Earlier , I was remembering "Rhapsody in Blue"... but sometimes it is that beautiful song about the moonlight by Chopin...or I will focus on an instrumental...
Has this happened to you lately....

Yes! Sometimes an old tune from so far back I cannot even remember the name of it. Mostly, I think the oldest tunes that seep into my awareness without any perceivable reason seem to come from the time before my family moved to England. That would be 1957-58. Tunes I heard on the radio. They had a latino sound, trumpets. I doubt I've heard them since. We were livingin Waterbury, CT at the time. Not necessarily popular tunes, but still, when they replay in my head, I wonder who the musician was. Another tune that I remember when I was very young, probably the first song I "fell in love with", played on the radio in my grandmother's home one evening. I think the song was released in 1962. I was nine years old at the time. bea
Oh, yeah, that favorite song I remember from long ago, I forgot to name it in my comment below: Duke of Earl. Bea
Bea... I didn't know that you had lived in England! How cool!
I absolutely loved Duke of Earl because remember? we could all pick different parts of the harmony and all sing together! thanks Bea!
