Beautiful. I bet Oboe would love Mozart's clarinet concerto, too. (And you might enjoy Isaas Stern in From Mao to Mozart - the entire film is available on youtube.)
Hello and welcome! Thanks for visiting my blog which began as "Old Girl of the North Country." From November 24 through December 31, 2009, I'm doing a preview of my limited edition book, 42 years: a book of changes (first run -- 25 copies), as I revisit the Bob Dylan album/CD covers from 1962 through 2009 -- roughly the same 42 years.
Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon Comet, Cupid, Donner, Blitzen Carter, Reagan, Bush and Clinton
(From "Must Be Santa" -- new lyrics by Bob Dylan)
How can I be useful, of what service can I be? There is something inside me, what can it be? -- Vincent van Gogh (1853-1890)
I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word in reality. This is why right temporarily defeated is stronger than evil triumphant. -- Martin Luther King (1929-1968)
All journeys have secret destinations of which the traveler is unaware. -- Martin Buber (1878-1965)
It is only a little planet, but how beautiful it is.
-- Robinson Jeffers
The true end of a war is the rebirth of life; the right to die peacefully in your own bed. The true end of war is the end of fear; the true end of war is the return of laughter.
"OLD GIRL OF THE NORTH COUNTRY" (the earliest name for my blog) was created in early December of 2006 so that I could post a 40-year retrospective of my paintings and drawings. As of May 9, 2009, my blog is now titled "TALKING 37TH DREAM WITH RAINBOW (RUMORS OF PEACE)."
To see the retrospective, scroll down from here to Blog Archive.
Or just click on the www.flickr.com mosaic above for a sampling of drawings and paintings.
Enjoy every sandwich -- Warren Zevon (1947-2003)
Not in God's wilds will you ever hear the sad moan, "All is vanity." No, we are paid a thousand times for all our toil, and after a single day spent outdoors in their atmosphere of strength and beauty, one could still say, should death come — even without any hope of another life — "Thank you for this most glorious gift!" and pass on.
-- John Muir (1838-1914)
Philip Henslowe: Mr. Fennyman, allow me to explain about the theatre business. The natural condition is one of insurmountable obstacles on the road to imminent disaster. Hugh Fennyman: So what do we do? Philip Henslowe: Nothing. Strangely enough, it all turns out well. Hugh Fennyman: How? Philip Henslowe: I don't know. It's a mystery.
(lines from the film, "Shakespeare In Love")

Pleasant walking, am.
R.L. -- Thanks for reminding me of From Mao to Mozart. I've seen it before but am delighted to know that I can see it again on YouTube.
Muchas gracias, R.L.
