WA2K Radio is now on the air

Good morning, WA2K listeners and contributors.

Try, I'll have some of that coffee, please, and that cat was a product of T.S. Eliot, so please don't over feed the furry thing. <smile>

Ah, buddy, loved the music and I must admit that as the sands of time slip through the hour glass, so do the days of our lives.

It Was Only A Dream

Céline Dion)

Dans un grand jardin enchanté
Tout à coup je me suis retrouvée
Une harpe des violons jouaient
Des anges au ciel me souriaient
Le vent faisait chanter l'été

(In a large enchanted garden
Suddenly I found myself
A harp and violins were playing
Angels in the sky were smiling to me
The wind was making sing the summer)

Je marchais d'un pas si léger
Sur un tapis aux pétales de roses
Une colombe sur mon épaule
Dans chaque main une hirondelle
Des papillons couleurs pastel

(I was walking with a so light tread
On a roses' petals carpet
A dove on my shoulder
A swallow in each hand
Pastel colors butterflies)

Ce n'était qu'un rêve
Ce n'était qu'un rêve
Mais si beau qu'il était vrai
Comme un jour qui se lève
Ce n'était qu'un rêve
Un sourire sur mes lèvres
Un sourire que j'ai gardé
Au-delà de mon rêve

(It was only a dream
It was only a dream
But so beautiful that it was true
Like a day which is rising
It was only a dream
A smile on my lips
A smile that I have kept
After my dream is over)

Le soleil et ses rayons d'or
Les fleurs dansaient sur un même accord
Des chevaux blancs avec des ailes
Semblaient vouloir toucher le ciel
Vraiment j'étais au pays des fées

(The sun and it's golden rays
Flowers were dancing at the same rhythm
White horses with wings
Were wanting to touch the sky
I was truly in fairyland)

Ce n'était qu'un rêve
Ce n'était qu'un rêve
Mais si beau qu'il était vrai
Comme un jour qui se lève
Ce n'était qu'un rêve
Un sourire sur mes lèvres
Un sourire que j'ai gardé
Au-delà de mon rêve

(It was only a dream
It was only a dream
But so beautiful that it was true
Like a day which is rising
It was only a dream
A smile on my lips
A smile that I have kept
After my dream is over)

Ce n'était qu'un rêve

(It was only a dream)

Well, there's our Francis, listeners.

Absolutely beautiful, Paris. Thank you for the translation as many of our listeners don't speak French. <smile>

From the pen of Walt Whitman:

A Noiseless Patient Spider

A noiseless patient spider,
I mark'd where on a little promontory it stood isolated,
Mark'd how to explore the vacant vast surrounding,
It launch'd forth filament, filament, filament, out of itself,
Ever unreeling them, ever tirelessly speeding them.

And you O my soul where you stand,
Surrounded, detached, in measureless oceans of space,
Ceaselessly musing, venturing, throwing, seeking the spheres to connect them,
Till the bridge you will need be form'd, till the ductile anchor hold,
Till the gossamer thread you fling catch somewhere, O my soul.

-- Walt Whitman

Jean Gabin
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jean Gabin (May 17, 1904-November 15, 1976) was a major French actor and war hero.

Born Jean-Alexis Moncorgé in Paris, France, he grew up in the village of Mériel in the Seine-et-Oise département about 22 miles (35 kilometers) north of the city of Paris. The son of cabaret entertainers, he worked as a laborer, but at age 19 entered show business with a bit part in a Folies Bergères production. He continued performing in a variety of minor roles before going into the military.

After completing his military service, Gabin returned to the entertainment business, working under the stage name of Jean Gabin at whatever was offered in the Parisian music halls and operettas. He was part of a troupe that toured South America and upon returning to France found work at the Moulin Rouge. His performances started getting noticed and better stage roles came along that led to parts in two silent films in 1928. Two years later, he easily made the transition to talkies in a 1930 Pathé Frères production titled Chacun sa Chance. Playing secondary roles, Gabin made more than a dozen films over the next four years, including films directed by Maurice and Jacques Tourneur. However, he only gained real recognition for his performance in Maria Chapdelaine, a 1934 production directed by Julien Duvivier. Cast as a romantic hero in a 1936 war drama titled La Bandera, this second Duvivier directed film established Gabin as a major star. The following year, he teamed up with Duvivier again, this time in the highly successful Pepe le Moko that became one of the top Grossing Films of 1937 worldwide which brought Gabin international recognition. That same year he starred in the Jean Renoir masterpiece La Grande Illusion, an anti-war film that was a huge box office success and given universal critical acclaim, even running at a New York City theater for an unprecedented six months. Flooded with offers from Hollywood, for a time Gabin turned them all down until the outbreak of World War II. Following the German occupation of France, he joined Jean Renoir and Julien Duvivier in the United States.

Divorced from his second wife in 1939, during his time in Hollywood, Gabin began a torrid romance with actress Marlene Dietrich. However, his films in America proved less than successful and, a difficult personality with a very large ego, he did serious damage to his Hollywood career while working for RKO Pictures. Scheduled to star in an RKO film, at the last minute he demanded Dietrich be given the co-starring role. The studio refused and after Gabin remained steadfast in his demand, he was fired and the film project was shelved. Undaunted, Jean Gabin joined General de Gaulle's Free French Forces where he earned the Médaille Militaire and a Croix de Guerre for his wartime valor fighting with the Allies in North Africa. Following D-Day, Gabin was part of the military contingent that entered a liberated Paris. Captured on film by the media is a scene where an anxious Marlene Dietrich is waiting in the crowd when she spots Gabin on board a battle tank and rushes to him.

In 1946, Gabin was hired by Marcel Carné to star in his film, Les Portes de la Nuit but his egotistical conduct got him fired again. He then found a French producer and director willing to cast him and Marlene Dietrich together, but their film Martin Roumagnac was not a success and their personal relationship soon ended. Following another box office failure in 1947, Gabin returned to the stage but there too, the production was another financial disaster. Nevertheless, he was cast in the lead role of the 1949 René Clément film Au-Dela Des Grilles that won the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film. Despite this recognition, the film did not do well at the French box office and the next five years brought little more than repeated box office failures and Gabin's career seemed headed for oblivion. However, he made a comeback in the 1954 film, Touchez pas au grisbi. Directed by Jacques Becker, his performance earned him critical acclaim and the film was a very profitable international success. Over the next twenty years, Gabin made close to fifty more films, including many for Gafer Films, his production partnership with fellow actor Fernandel.

Gabin died of a heart attack in the Parisian suburb of Neuilly-sur-Seine. His body was cremated and with full military honors, his ashes were dispersed into the sea from a military ship.

Considered one of the great stars of French cinema, he was made a member of the Legion of Honor. The Musée Jean Gabin in his native town of Mériel contains his story and his war and film memorabilia.

Maureen O'Sullivan
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Early Life

She was born Maureen Paula O'Sullivan in Boyle, County Roscommon, Ireland, the daughter of Charles Joseph O'Sullivan, a British officer and Lord Mayor of Cork City, and Mary Lovett Fraser.

She attended a convent school in Dublin, then the Convent of the Sacred Heart at Roehampton in London. One of her classmates there was Vivien Leigh. After attending finishing school in France, O'Sullivan returned to Dublin and began working with the poor.

Career Rise

She then met the motion picture director Frank Borzage, who was doing location filming on Song o' My Heart for 20th Century Fox. He suggested she take a screen test. She did and won a part in the movie, which starred Irish tenor John McCormack. She then traveled to the United States with her mother to complete the movie in Hollywood.


'Tarzan the Ape Man'

O'Sullivan appeared in six movies at Fox, then made three more at other movie studios. In 1932, she signed a contract with Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. After several roles there and at other movie studios, she was chosen by Irving Thalberg to appear as "Jane Parker" in Tarzan the Ape Man opposite co-star Johnny Weissmuller, with whom she had a brief affair during the early 1930's.

Besides playing Jane, she was one of the more popular ingenues at MGM throughout the 1930s and appeared in a number of other productions with various stars.


Johnny Weissmuller and Maureen O'Sullivan in "Tarzan and His Mate", 1934In all, O'Sullivan played Jane, mate of Tarzan, in six features between (1932) and (1942). She did not mind doing the first two jungle movies, but feared being typecast and grew increasingly tired of the role.

She also starred with William Powell and Myrna Loy in The Thin Man (1934) and played Kitty in Anna Karenina (1935) with Greta Garbo and Basil Rathbone. She appeared as Molly Beaumont in A Yank at Oxford (1938), which was written partly by F. Scott Fitzgerald. At her request, he rewrote her part to give it substance and novelty. She played another Jane in Pride and Prejudice (1940) with Laurence Olivier and Greer Garson, and supported Ann Sothern in Maisie Was a Lady (1941).

After appearing in Tarzan's New York Adventure (1942), O'Sullivan asked MGM to release her from her contract so she could care for her husband who had just left the Navy with typhoid. She then retired from show business, devoting her time to being a wife and mother.


Marriages and Later Life

O'Sullivan was first married to Australian-born writer, later award-winning director, and Catholic convert John Farrow (12 September 1936-1963 his death). She was a widow for twenty years, then married James Cushing (22 August 1983-1998 her death).

She and Farrow were the parents of seven children: Michael Farrow, Patrick Farrow, Maria de Lourdes Villiers Farrow (actress Mia Farrow), John Farrow, Prudence Farrow, Theresa "Tisa" Farrow and Stephanie Farrow.

In (1948), she re-appeared on the screen in The Big Clock for Paramount Studios, which was directed by her husband. She continued to appear occasionally in her husband's movies and on television. By 1960, she believed she had permanently retired, perhaps prompted by roles such as Mrs Mimms in The Tall T in which her advancing years are the prime meaning of her role.

Then fellow Irish thespian Pat O'Brien encouraged her to take a part in summer stock. The play, A Roomful of Roses, opened in 1961. That led to another play, Never Too Late, in which she co-starred with Paul Ford in what was her Broadway debut. Shortly after it opened on Broadway, John Farrow died of a heart attack.

Sadly, O'Sullivan also had to endure being predeceased by her eldest son, Michael, who died in a car crash in California. O'Sullivan stuck with acting after the death of her husband. She was the Today Girl for NBC for a while, then she made the movie version of Never Too Late (1965) for Warner Bros.. She was also an executive director of a bridal consulting service, Wediquette International.

When her daughter, Mia Farrow, became involved with Woody Allen both professionally and romantically, O'Sullivan appeared in a couple of his movies playing Farrow's mother. She had important roles in Peggy Sue Got Married (1986), starring Kathleen Turner and Nicolas Cage, and the sci-fi oddity Stranded (1987).

In 1994, she appeared with Robert Wagner and Stefanie Powers in Hart to Hart: Home Is Where the Hart Is, a feature-length made for TV movie with the wealthy husband-and-wife team from the popular weekly detective series.

Maureen O'Sullivan died in Scottsdale, Arizona aged 87, of complications from heart surgery. She is buried in the Most Holy Redeemer Cemetery in Niskayuna, New York, her second husband's hometown.

She has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 6541 Hollywood Boulevard in Hollywood, California.

Dennis Hopper
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Born: May 17, 1936
Dodge City, Kansas, USA
Occupation: Actor and film-maker.
Spouse: Victoria Duffy
Dennis Hopper (born May 17, 1936) is an American actor and film-maker.

Biography

Born in Dodge City, Kansas, Hopper was voted most likely to succeed by his high school class (Helix High School, La Mesa, California) and it was there he developed an interest in acting. He was especially fond of the plays of William Shakespeare. Hopper made his acting debut on an episode of the Richard Boone television show Medic in 1955 playing a young epileptic. Hopper was then cast in two roles with James Dean (whom he admired immensely) Rebel Without a Cause (1955) and Giant (1956).

Dean's death in a 1955 car accident affected the young Hopper deeply and it was shortly afterwards that he got into a confrontation with veteran director Henry Hathaway on the film From Hell To Texas. Hopper refused directions for 80 takes over several days. This infamous incident resulted in his being blacklisted from films for several years.

In his book Last Train to Memphis, American popular music historian Peter Guralnick says that in 1956 when Elvis Presley was making his first film in Hollywood, Dennis Hopper was roommates with fellow actor Nick Adams and the three became friends and hung out together.

Hopper moved to New York and studied at the famous Lee Strasberg acting school. He appeared in over 140 episodes of television shows such as Bonanza, The Twilight Zone, The Defenders, The Big Valley, The Time Tunnel and Combat. Hopper also became an accomplished professional photographer (he has had many exhibitions of his work). He also was very talented as a painter and a poet.

Hopper had a supporting role as "Babalugats," the bet-taker in "Cool Hand Luke" (1967).

Although Hopper was able to resume acting in mainstream films including The Sons of Katie Elder (1965) and True Grit (1969), in both of these films he had death scenes with John Wayne. It was not until he teamed with Peter Fonda and Jack Nicholson and made Easy Rider that he really shook up the Hollywood establishment. This film became an anthem of sorts to the lost generation of the Vietnam war and to this day is one of the most successful independent films ever made. Hopper won wide acclaim as the director of the film for his improvisational methods and stop action photography.

Hopper wrote and directed another film that was released in 1971 called The Last Movie that was a box office failure and derailed his career for years. Hopper had long been an alcoholic and drug abuser and it was at this point his addiction began to dominate his life. However, Hopper did act in several films during this period such as Mad Dog Morgan (1976), Tracks (1976), The American Friend (1977) and Apocalypse Now (1979), and he won acclaim for directing and acting in Out of the Blue (1980).

In the early 1980s, Hopper entered a drug rehabilitation program and cured himself of his addictions. He gave powerful performances in Rumble Fish (1983) and The Osterman Weekend (1983). However, it was not until he portrayed the alkyl nitrites-huffing, obscenity-screaming Frank Booth in David Lynch's film Blue Velvet (1986) that his career truly revived. After reading the script, Hopper called Lynch and told him "You have to let me play Frank Booth. Because I am Frank Booth!" Hopper won critical acclaim and a slew of awards for this role and the same year won an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actor for Hoosiers.

In 1988, Hopper directed a critically acclaimed film about Los Angeles gangs called Colors. He has continued to be an important actor, photographer and director. He was nominated for an Emmy award for the 1991 HBO films Paris Trout and Doublecrossed (in which he played real life drug smuggler and DEA informant Barry Seal). He also co-starred in the 1994 blockbuster Speed with Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock. He recently contributed to the film 1 Giant Leap with provocative anecdotes on spirituality, unity and culture.

Hopper teamed with Nike in the early 1990s to make a series of successful television commercials. He appeared as a "crazed referee" in those ads.

He is most recently starring in the NBC 2006 television series E-Ring, a drama set at The Pentagon.

On the 2005 Gorillaz album Demon Days, Hopper performs the spoken word track "Fire Coming Out of the Monkey's Head."

Dennis Hopper is a supporter of the Republican Party and donated money to the party for the 2004 election. [1] Ironically, his character in the 2005 movie Land of the Dead was based rather unflatteringly on a couple of members of the Bush administration, most notably Donald Rumsfeld.

In 1996 Hopper was married to Victoria Duffy (his fifth, her first) in Boston. She had earlier attended the Univ. of VT, where she and her horses had also been in training for the Equestrienne Three-Day Event at the Pan-Am Games, possibly following her father, now a Boston neurologist, at the subsequent Olympic Games. Duffy's birth-mother has a Doctorate in Psychology (Counseling), and her stepmother is also a Boston physician. Again interestingly, Duffy is an active Democratic Party supporter in California.

Despite being famous as an actor and director, Hopper sees himself primarily as an artist, and is an accomplished and much-respected painter, art collector and photographer:

he said/she said

He said...I don't know why you wear a bra, you've got
nothing to put in it.
She said...You wear briefs don't you?

She said...What do you mean by coming home half drunk?
He said...It's not my fault...I ran out of money.

He said...Since I first laid eyes on you, I've wanted to
make love to you in the worst way.
She said...Well, you succeeded.

He said...Two inches more and I would be King.
She said...Two inches less and you'd be Queen.

On the wall in ladies room: "My husband follows me
everywhere."
Written just below it: "I do not."

Priest said...I don't think you will ever find another
man like your late husband.
She said...Who's gonna look?

He said...What have you been doing with all the grocery
money I gave you?
She said...Turn sideways and look in the mirror.

He said...Let's go out and have some fun tonight.
She said...Okay, but if you get home before I do, leave
the hallway light on.

Well, folks. BioBob alias Hawkman has completed his background because he did a he said/she said funny. Loved 'em Boston. Sorta like the man who came home with his custom made suit and told his wife.

Look at this, Rosalie. A sixteen inch zipper.

Rosalie responded with:

Right, Abe. Mr. Smith down the street has a huge garage. He opens it and what comes out? A bicycle.

Dennis Hopper has become one of my favorite actors. I think it has to do with his assuming a "bad boy" image.

Back later, listeners. I have unpleasant things to do today.

This is cyber space, WA2K radio.

Good Afternoon:

Remembering:

(Love those Tarzan pictures)


and for our PD:

Well, there's our Raggedy, folks. I do wish they would do more of the Tarzan movies on AMC. Sometimes the old black and whites are better than color. Even the old silent ones with subtitles, right?

Strange, how Dennis Hopper became a better villain than he was a hippie. That is often the case, though.

Remember this song from one of Hopper's odd movies?

Blue Velvet
~ Bobby Vinton




She wore blue velvet
Bluer than velvet was the night
Softer than satin was the light
From the stars

She wore blue velvet
Bluer than velvet were her eyes
Warmer than May her tender sighs
Love was ours

Ours a love I held tightly
Feeling the rapture grow
Like a flame burning brightly
But when she left, gone was the glow of

Blue velvet
But in my heart there'll always be
Precious and warm, a memory
Through the years
And I still can see blue velvet
Through my tears

Terrible song, folks, and a really weird movie.

Today at 6:15 Pennsylvania time, TCM (Turner Classic Movies) the first O'Sullivan, Weissmuller, "Tarzan, the Ape Man" will be on. I've already recorded it to DVD from an earlier TCM showing.

Tune in Letty.

Nah, no silents, or any other Tarzan except Johnny Weissmuller, for me.

Disney's Tarzan Lyrics -
Strangers Like Me


Whatever you do, I'll do it too
Show me everything and tell me how
It all means something
And yet nothing to me

I can see there's so much to learn
It's all so close and yet so far
I see myself as people see me
Oh, I just know there's something bigger out there

I wanna know, can you show me
I wanna know about these strangers like me
Tell me more, please show me
Something's familiar about these strangers like me

Every gesture, every move that she makes
Makes me feel like never before
Why do I have
This growing need to be beside her

Ooo, these emotions I never knew
Of some other world far beyond this place
Beyond the trees, above the clouds
I see before me a new horizon

Come with me now to see my world
Where there's beauty beyond your dreams
Can you feel the things I feel
Right now, with you
Take my hand
There's a world I need to know

I wanna know, can you show me
I wanna know about these strangers like me
Tell me more, please show me
Something's familiar about these strangers like me

... I wanna know

Why, thank you, PA. I most certainly will watch Johnny. Damn, Raggedy. I haven't done popcorn and a movie in forever.

Hey, Try. Are we back to the jungle again. Love it, buddy. Didn't Brendan Frazier do George of the Jungle?

Anyway, folks, I love this one from MONK:

It's a jungle out there
Disorder and confusion everywhere
No one seems to care. Well I do.
Hey, who's in charge here?
It's a jungle out there
Poison in the very air we breathe
Do you know what's in the water that you drink?
Well I do, and it's amazing
People think I'm crazy, 'cause I worry all the time
If you paid attention, you'd be worried too
You better pay attention
Or this world we love so much might just kill you
I could be wrong now, but I don't think so. It's a jungle out there.

Randy Newman does a fantastic job with that one, folks.

In the jungle I saw a butterfly ~


Artist: Mariah Carey
Song: Butterfly Lyrics

Ooh ooh
When you love someone so deeply
They become your life
It's easy to succumb to overwhelming fears inside
Blindly I imagined I could
Keep you under glass
Now I understand to hold you
I must open up my hands and watch you rise

Spread you wings and prepare to fly
For you have become a butterfly (Oooh)
Fly abandonedly into the sun
If you should return to me
We truly were meant to be, so spread your wings and fly
Butterfly

I have learned that beauty
Has to flourish in the light
Wild horses run unbridled
Or their spirit dies
You have given me the courage
To be all that I can
And I truly feel your heart will
Lead you back to me when you're
Ready to land
Chorus

Spread your wings and prepare to fly
For you have become a butterfly (Oooh)
Fly abandonedly into the sun
If you should return to me, we truly were meant to be
So spread your wings and fly (spread your wings and fly)
Butterfly (butterfly)
Bridge

I can't pretend these tears
Aren't overflowing steadily
I can't prevent this hurt from
Almost overtaking me
But I will stand and say goodbye (stand and say goodbye)
For you'll never be mine
Until you know the way it feels to fly
Chorus

Spread your wings and prepare to fly
For you have become a butterfly (Oooh)
Fly abandonedly into the sun (fly to the sun)
If you should return to me (I will know you're mine)
We truly were meant to be (spread your wings and fly)
So spread your wings and fly
Butterfly

Beautiful, Try. Thank you for continuing the theme in a flutterby way <smile>

Not exactly the jungle, listeners, but a song that is dear to my heart in an archaeological way.


Poor Butterfly


Poor butterfly
'neath the blossoms waiting
Poor butterfly
For she loved him so
The moments pass into hours
The hours pass into years
And as she smiles through her tears
She murmurs low
The moon and I
Know that he'll be faithful
I'm sure he'll come back
By and by
But if he don't come back
I just must die
Poor butterfly
(repeat, then modulate and repeat again)

Une belle di.

Butterfly's are great but…

A Dog's Life Lyrics

If I had my life to live over
I know just what I'd like to be
A pampered pet of a rich brunette
Sitting on my mama's knee
Someone to love me
Someone to care
Rubberduck dubble little fingers through my hair
I need a dog's life
What a life, that's good enough for me
That's good enough for me

If I had a bone to be picking
A picking chicken or a steak
Curled up there in an easy chair
Man, that won't be hard to take
I'll always be faithful
That's what I'd be
Never bite a hand that feeds me, no siree
Just lead a dog's life
What a life
That's good enough for me
That's good enough for me

I'd find me a pink little poodle
And lose my noodle over her
I chase her 'round all over town
Just to ruffle up her fur
Nuzzle her muzzle
A hole in her paw
Greatest case of puppy lovin' you ever saw
It's called a dog's life
What a life
That's good enough for me
You heard me say it now
That's good enough for me
That's good enough for me

Written By Wayne and Weisman

Time to change the record ~

Amazing Grace Lyrics

Amazing grace, oh how sweet the sound
That saved a wreck like me
I once was lost, though now I'm found
I was blind, but now I see
When we've been there ten thousand years
Bright shining as the sun
We've no less days to sing God's praise
Then when, when we first begun
Too many ages false and spent
I have already hung
This face and flock He saved us by
His endless grace will leave me whole
Amazing grace, oh how sweet the sound
To save a wreck like me

I once was lost, but now I'm found
I was blind, but now I see

Arranged by Elvis Presley

Exactly, Try. I wish I could have lived my dog's life. Wow, would that have been great.

Just got through watching Tarzan. My word, they played the theme from Romeo and Juliet at the end. That was very perplexing, but perhaps it was edited to include that music. Another anachronism?

How beautiful the primitive life seems on the silver screen, listeners.

Hey, how about a love song. We need that to sweeten the pot.
madonna:


Je suis prete. Est-ce que vous etes pret, aussi?

Are you wasting my time, are you just being kind
Oh no baby my love isn't blind
Are you wasting my time, are you just being kind
Don't go givin' me one of your lines

Say what you mean, mean what you say
Don't go and throw our love away
God strike me dead if I did you wrong
This is not a love song

Are you just being kind
Am I losing my mind

Time goes by so slowly for those who wait
And those who run seem to have all the fun
But are you wasting my time -- she's so fine
Are you just being kind

Nowhere to run nowhere to hide
That's how I feel, don't fog my mind

Mean what you say or baby I am gone
This is not a love song

Are you just being kind
Am I losing my mind

Love song, love song
Don't try to tell me what your enemies taught you
I'm gone but I just want you to know
That this is not a love song that I want to sing.

That says a lot about life, right?

Aaah yes, a few bars of the "Our Love" theme from Romeo and Juliet, at the conclusion of the film.
That movie was made in 1932. Two years later, Tarzan and His Mate, gave Jane a two-piece jungle outfit which would never be seen again in the Weissmuller Tarzan films. The Production Code wouldn't allow it.

Did you enjoy it at all, Letty?

Yes, Raggedy. I loved it. Thank you so much for letting me know, PA. I guess the movies were my baby sitter. <smile>

And now I must say goodnight.

Music


When music sounds, gone is the earth I know,
And all her lovely things even lovelier grow;
Her flowers in vision flame, her forest trees
Lift burdened branches, stilled with ecstasies.

When music sounds, out of the water rise
Naiads whose beauty dims my waking eyes,
Rapt in strange dreams burns each enchanted face,
With solemn echoing stirs their dwelling-place.

When music sounds, all that I was I am
Ere to this haunt of brooding dust I came;
And from Time's woods break into distant song
The swift-winged hours, as I hasten along.
