FReeper Canteen - Tunes For Our Troops - 19 April 2014

Out Troops Rock!!! | The Canteen DJ's

Not being critical...just letting the folks know.

It is REALLY important to know these things, so don't ever hesitate letting us know. We try to be really careful, but don't always catch everything.

Just read the news that Glen Campbell has been moved to a care facility. What an amazing catalogue of hits he's had in his career. Alzheimer's is an unforgiving nightmare. I lost my mother to this cruel disease ... twice. First when she no longer knew who I was and then again when she passed away. Prayers up for those going thru this in their own family or friends.

Thanks, Publius, for Rachmaninov’s “The Star Spangled Banner”.

I know. it’s pretty commonplace these days.

With cuss words so common, we have Nothing left for special occasions!

Lynn-Dah has a fine layer of black peach fuzz that is slowly but surely covering up the scar for the (Benign!) growth that was removed from right between her eyes. Whereas before, she had a totally black face (Including her eyes, lips, and TONGUE) she is now getting quite grey around her muzzle and eyebrows. The Vet calls it “Sugaring”. Much nicer than “Going Grey”.

Makes her look distinguished.

What a sad ending to an amazing career! Thanks for playing his tunes! :)

Good evening, Connie...it’s still melting, and the folks down at the corner are using a sump pump out in the street in the “lake” and pumping the water into the creek. It’s been at the foot of their driveway, halfway between driveway and corner, and tonight it is sitting on the frozen drain at the corner.

Did you have an easy commute? *HUGS*

I have been praying for you, FRiend!

HOLY WEEK AND EASTER

The plot thickens. It’s marked “robust, moderate” with a 3/4 time signature and no key signature at all. That’s not because it’s in C Major, but because a key signature would just get in the way of what Messiaen is trying to do.

The angel (clarinet) who announces the end makes her appearance. This is another tough one to listen to, but the thematic material presented here makes its appearance later, along with the angel. There is an eerie beauty to the central section where the clarinet is silent and the piano plays quiet block chords.

Messiaen: “Quartet for the End of Time”, (“Vocalise for the Angel Who Announces the End of Time”)

I am just remembering from 44 years ago. It made QUITE an impression!

FRiends,this is not not music for the Troops, but I ask your indulgence as I post this old poem.

Dear Lord, I pray that we may continue to engender Heroes who dare to die, and leave their children free!

"CONCORD BRIDGE"
Ralph Waldo Emerson

By the rude bridge that arched the flood,
Their flag to April’s breeze unfurled,
Here once the embattled farmers stood,
And fired the shot heard round the world.

The foe long since in silence slept;
Alike the conqueror silent sleeps;
And Time the ruined bridge has swept
Down the dark stream which seaward creeps.

On this green bank, by this soft stream,
We set to-day a votive stone;
That memory may their deed redeem,
When, like our sires, our sons are gone.

Spirit, that made those heroes dare,
To die, and leave their children free,
Bid Time and Nature gently spare
The shaft we raise to them and thee.

Battle of Concord Bridge
19 April 1775

"Riamh nár dhruid ó sbairn lann!"

Genuflectimus non ad principem sed ad Principem Pacis!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)
