    Sweet Saturday morning with Jack - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4M7p6kK16so

    I don't think I'll ever stop being amazed at the power of music and its effect on the soul.

    *wave to all my friends*

    I often wonder about those people who are not deeply touched and moved by music. Music is such a fundamental part of my everyday life - I can't live without it! Enjoy this lovely weekend, friends!
    Are we getting something out of this all-encompassing trip?

    Seems my preconceptions are what should have been burned...

    I AM MINE

    I can't imagine a world without music. I just saw the Jim Jarmusch film "Down By Law" and in the extras Jarmusch says:

    “Music, to me, is the most beautiful form, and I love film because film is very related to music. It moves by you in its own rhythm. It's not like reading a book or looking at a painting. It gives you its own time frame, like music, so they are very connected for me. But music to me is the biggest inspiration. When I get depressed, or anything, I go "think of all the music I haven't even heard yet!"

    Mornin, guys :wave:

    I can't tell you how restorative, soothing and uplifting my beloved SVT was.

    Ever catch yourself with a cheek-hurting smile while listening to music?

    That was me last night :P <
    seriously, just like that

    Good evening!

    I just finished a long, exhausting week myself so I took the green-tinted SVT treatment this evening as well and am happy to report that it's worked wonders! Feeling great! Good suggestion, Hedonist. :mrgreen:

    Aw, nice! I could feel your smile from here :)

    The pride parade is happening here today, so we're pretty much staying in this cloudy morning - which is kinda nice (not that we were planning on going anywhere at the moment anyway). The dude's got Waters' Radio KAOS going, the kitties are in unbelievably cute sleeping positions, green's a-going strong and breakfast is on the horizon.

    Feeling pretty blessed at the moment.

    I remember when my husband had his stroke and was lying in intensive care between life and death for weeks (but I had to go back to work). I couldn't sleep so I left the house 5ish and walked to work (started at 6.00am). Walked towards the sunrise, music playing in my ears, in my whole body really. It was the only time I could take my mind off all the sadness/fear, etc. and sort of 'be' with music and nature. Music was my solace then - took me to a different world.

    Great perspective...(I want to say more about what you must've been through at that time, but can't quite articulate it right now as I'd like to)

    It's like comfort food in a way - craved, and inhaled - but it's funny how where food feeds all five horizons, music technically nourishes one. But how it penetrates? Nothing like it.

    Spent an awesome evening with Uncle Neil and his Crazy Horse yesterday. Looking forward to another, hopefully awesome evening with Patti Smith later today. Must get a bit more 'eye rest' before....

    Hope all is well in the lounge car and that Mrs.Lux is well on her way to full recovery now!

    Neil Young and Patti Smith back-to-back. Wow! :D

    Mrs. Lux is slowly (as expected) but surely (as was hoped for) recovering sight in her left eye. Thanks for well wishes, redrock! :D

    I am glad to hear that -- I had been wondering how she was doing. :D

    Salut, JP and the rest of you lot!

    T minus less than three hours here.

    (and I'm passing a bit of the time by enjoying images like this. I know, I'm immature)

    Enjoyed many cocktails on vacay last week! Enjoying a glass of pinot gris as I fix dinner and toasting you all. Hope to see/meet some of you at Wrigley in less than 3 weeks :)

    And hoping Celia is doing well, brianlux!

    Howdy and cheers, all!

    Big smiles here, as my company gave ALL of its employees generous raises this week, gave us an unexpected paid Friday off, and shut down early today.

    Now I'm home with my love, our kitties, and a fresh bag o'buzz.

    Life is good :)

    riotgrl, sounds like a nice way to spend the evening and (wrap up?) your vacation.

    I'm now off to watch my beloved Judge Judy :mrgreen:

    Hello everyone! Looks like life is good around here. Nice lil' surprises from your work hedonist :mrgreen:

    Been a bit hectic these past couple of weeks but now settling down. Daughter enjoying an almost 2-week holiday in Turkey with friends so house is quieter. Well... was going to be quieter. Very, very best friend (like a sister) is coming to visit and 'fill the void' as she said! Not very well prepared but who cares!

    Sunshine here too which is lovely!

    Well hello :)

    Got to see some nice fireworks last night, despite a bit of a haze (outside AND inside :mrgreen: )...at one point I counted 24 different displays! George was not pleased one bit and spent most of the evening under our bed, poor fella.

    redrock, enjoy the visit (nothing like that kind of closeness) and the weather.

    Unusually mild here today given the time of year. A bit overcast, perfect for Igor (for whom I have a new musical and figurative hard-on :P )

    Been SO digging on this guy lately and the many genres of music he's chosen to cover.
