First big belly laugh of the day. Love it! Thanks Cro. And I think someone playing the flute at the very end actually stayed in tune...but hard to tell as my ears were bleeding at that point. X

Optimistic Cro!
The difference between an optimist and a pessimist, is that the optimist enjoys himself whilst waiting for the inevitable! I AM that optimist!
This is a daily, optimistic, 'photos and comments' blog. I make no judgements (only occasionally), just notes. If you wish to comment in any way at all, please feel free. Everything and everyone (except the obdurate and dictatorial) is very welcome.
I was born just south of London, but for the past 50 years I've lived in S W France. I am a painter by profession, and writer by desire. Lady Magnon and I live between an ancient cottage in a tiny village in perfectly tranquil French countryside, and a bijou townhouse in Brighton UK. In France we have plenty of fruit trees, all situated amongst a view that takes the breath away, in the UK we have a handkerchief sized patio. We also have a Border Collie called Billy. I try to treat our planet with respect, and encourage others to do likewise (without preaching).
Contentment is a glass of red, a plate of charcuterie, and a slice of good country bread. Perfect!
I want to play the booming drum.

That's the only bit that was 'in tune'.
DeleteNot sure stunning is the right word. My ears will never be the same.
ReplyDeleteWell I was 'stunned'.
DeleteSeems to be different...
ReplyDeleteDifferent to anything you've heard before?
DeleteElephants trumpeting in tune :)
ReplyDeleteGreetings Maria x
You're being a bit hard on Elephants.
DeleteThis had something to do with Brian Eno.
ReplyDeleteI think that's him in white on extreme right.
DeletePlay it to an audience of elephants and see what happens ;-).
ReplyDeleteThe film version 2001 Space Odyssey (Kubrik) is my favourite.
I wonder why they didn't use this version. It would have had the audience in fits!
DeleteA couple more practice sessions and, by George, I think they’ll have got it !!! ...... maybe ! XXXX
ReplyDeleteI'm sure I heard someone playing a correct note; but maybe not.
DeleteOK my breakfast juice almost didn't stay in my mouth. SO funny.
ReplyDeleteEven the opening notes get me going. It's real laugh-out-loud stuff.
DeleteI am tone deaf... and even this sounded complete crap to me Cro... hahaha..finally I get an A plus.
ReplyDeleteJo in Auckland, NZ
It's obviously your day!
DeleteCould monkeys play this as well????
ReplyDeleteMot to disparage monkeys!
ReplyDeleteThere may well have been a few Monkeys in there. Who knows!
Deletemaybe they were the ones playing the correct notes?
DeleteAnd my fingers must have been tuned to them since I wrote mot instead of not. Monkey business!
DeleteIt used to be one of my favourite pieces. I shall never listen to it with the same attitude again!
ReplyDeleteWe aim to please.

ReplyDeleteThe end is certainly hard to stomach. Someone sounds desperate!
DeleteThere might have been one or two correct notes but if there were they were certainly in the wrong order.
ReplyDeleteI think you're being kind.
DeleteI think the drummer was the only professional.
