Read these verses this morning. Thought they were shareworthy.


from the poem, The Long Day in the book, From the Trouble with Poetry (2005).

Thanks, euro, for Child of Vision. Tsar, always love your animal funnies.

Once again, calling all poets, music lovers, painters, and musicians.

The lightening shut down everything in my radio station last evening.

Ella says it for me, y'all.

Didn't know Janell, but loved her tribe to rock and roll. Thanks, buddy, for the introduction, and for keeping us on the air.

A couple of birthday guys.

Well, here's a vocalist and a poem, y'all.

First, the poem by William Wordsworth:

MY heart leaps up when I behold
A rainbow in the sky:
So was it when my life began,
So is it now I am a man,
So be it when I shall grow old
Or let me die!
The child is father of the man:
And I could wish my days to be
Bound each to each by natural piety.

Now, Deano:

Did someone mention the violinst, (the late) Issac Stern? One of the greats of the last generation. My father, a professional violist, did not like him. I could never understand why. He was for his day what Joshua Bell is for this day. Fiddler on the Roof and the Red Violin, respectively.

JL, you say so much in just a few words. We always appreciate your comments on musicians. So glad that you are back with us today.

Going to say goodnight with an accidental discovery that I made. First some info.

Born in Ambato to José Marcos Montalvo and Josefa Fiallos, he studied philosophy and law in Quito before returning to his hometown in 1854. He held diplomatic posts in Italy and France from 1857 to 1859. A political liberal, Montalvo's beliefs were marked by anti-clericalism and a keen hatred for the two caudillos that ruled Ecuador during his life: Gabriel García Moreno and Ignacio de Veintemilla.

Now this lovely moon song.
