Hooked on classical music

Read your post from yesterday (and this one) re Mozart - hence the post about Mozart's Sinfonia Concertante 297B.

Mozart wasn't the only one dying young - Schubert died even younger - at 31. Despite both dying so young, their musical genius lives on (and of course there are others whose music is played many times and all over).

We seem to take it for granted that we'll take our super payout at a certain retirement age with the assumption that we'll get to those golden years and enjoy life to the fullest. Sadly often a case of just pure fantasy - evidenced by a visit at a local cemetery or even a hospital or nursing home.

Movies can never truly portray the 'true' happenings of people's lives - even if claimed to be 'based on a true story'. Find it odd that in some war movies from the past made in recent times, the movie directors seem to use cursing or swear words in the scripts that are doubtful were in common usage at those times - some directors need to do a little bit more homework.

You mentioned making bread - made some 'nokedli' nothing fancy but is tasty and quick - posted a picture - look at me, look at me I look good when naked - perhaps should be renamed to nakedli!

Re posters - yes, have noticed that some seem to have taken a hiatus - perhaps finding more important things to do - I really should do the same - perhaps a good way to start:

Time for a break and to find some more clothing - for me and for those nakedli.

@Sweetsound - lots of content in the 'Hamilton' - will listen tonight - carefully!

Young composers/musicians: - one of my favourites, unfortunately died young too, one Jeff Buckley; his Hallelujah is heart-achingly-breakingly beautiful - and I may have posted it before, so won't post again - on the same notion of 'dying young' Shakespeare left this huge body of works behind and died at 56 - an achievement his nation and other nations have benefited from now for 5 centuries. I hope there is at least a 'heaven' for musicians/artists etc. and a 'hell' for all the real baddies . . . .
years ago, after listening to the first version of a beer advertisement with lots of action on a boat, I discovered the singer of the song, '16 toneladas (Sixteen tons)' was one Noriel Vilela - also died young - his voice in the ad was replaced pretty soon by an English-Speaker, I think Johnny Cash - as a nation we tend to be quite narrow-minded at times.

Have a great day
