marcoujor: Musical Intermission - "E"

11/21/2018

November is a symbolic month - a time of transition, a change from the warm to the cold, a time of reflection, pause and gratitude - both for what we have and those who have gone before us.

I remember my parents and other family, friends who will forever live on in my heart and memories. I often wonder what they would think (and say) about the state of our affairs.

Today I join my cyber writing family in wishing our South African friend, Martie, and your beloved family peace and healing in the weeks to come.

Your son in law is a hero and a miracle. I pray that all the good he has done in his line of work as a police officer will return a million-fold in these weeks as he recuperates. Positive energy and all our best to Danie - and of course to you, dear Martie.

Musical Intermission:

With the birthing of this musical series, I have discovered some new readers who also have a penchant for musical diversity. As we celebrate "E" - songs this week, I salute my "E"- student (who is ironically an "A" in my book). "E" et al... Enjoy :)

Something Old:

As a little girl, the lyrics of this song made me sad. It dawns on me that I was a "born" a psych nurse - one on a lifetime musical journey.

Something New:

I am forever grateful to my friend, V, who shared her love of Fabrizio Paterlini with me. This "E"-album (En La Noche / At Night) is a bit over an hour in length. I guarantee, whether listening from start to finish or as your schedule permits, that you will feel more at peace. And I'm all for that peaceful feeling - listen up, dear Martie ...!!

Something Borrowed:

November 16th would have been Dad's 95th birthday. It's seems fitting to share some Frank Sinatra here today.

Something Blue:

Here's some "Hot Chocolate" for these chilly autumnal days - yes, to the whipped cream for me...!

Wishing you and those you love a peaceful Thanksgiving filled with the people, things and music that makes you happy. See you next week for some "F"-songs.

Hugs, mar

Hello mar - '"born" a psych nurse" has something of a Twilight Zone tone about it. But, hey, what do I know? Sending Martie boatloads of extra energy as she carries this additional load that life has dished out. And speaking of dishes, here is wishing you a warm Thanksgiving day spent with loved ones. The Beatles were a nice fit here. Now listening to Frank.

Speaking of the Twilight Zone, welcome to my world, dear Mike!

I'm happy you are enjoying the Beatles and Frank.

Happy, peaceful Thanksgiving to you - a special time of the year for you. Hugs, mar

Dear Mareer,

Thinking of you and your family on this special Thanksgiving time, and of course just a few more heartfelt thoughts for Martie and family as they cope with yet more realities of life where they have happened to be. My own sister in law back there just recently experienced a carjacking.
Love your music series. Right now, amid the turmoil everywhere, I'm so grateful to have all of you, my online friends, who remain that way through all the trials of life.
Thanks so much for the shoutout.
Love and hugs,
Vickster/Vicki

Dear Vickster,
I know you, of all people, understand the conditions our dear Martie lives with on a regular basis. Thank you for your nurturing and loving support to both of us.
I agree that our online neighborhood houses some mighty decent and loving people. You are at the top of that list.
Love and hugs to you, mareer

Hey, Sis. Great music. Also, best wishes to Martie's son-in-law for a quick recovery. It was indeed a blessing the bullet traveled so close but missed so many vital areas. Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours. May your day be filled with all the happiness you deserve!

Yes, Bro, it was nothing short of a miracle with Martie's son-in-law. I believe our collective support is appreciated by our girl.

Wishing you and your lovely bride a terrific Thanksgiving.

Love you and loads of hugs, Sis

Sweet Mar. I love your musical selections and I'm really enjoying this series. I can't wait to listen to En la noche in its entirety.
Sending healing thoughts to Martie's son, and that you will also be surrounded by love and healing as you remember your dad.
I wish you a wonderful and peaceful Thanksgiving. May you also be awash with gratitude, love, hugs, laughter, and beautiful stories to share.

Dear Cynthia,

Thank you for your supportive feedback about this series and your words of comfort to Martie.

Thinking of you during this time - sending you healing thoughts and all my love. I believe that En La Noche will be "just what the doctor ordered" for you as well.

Happy and peaceful Thanksgiving to you, my dear. Hugs, Maria

Dearest Mar

Thank you for your beautiful much-needed message. Seeing my s.i.l. connected to so many machines, including ventilator, and my daughter and granddaughters swinging between hope and despair, is heart-breaking. Fabrizio Paterlini's music is exactly what I need.

Mar, I appreciate your support with all my heart.

Hugs,

Martie

I just checked my SPAM and for some reason, your sweet comment was trapped there ... :(

I know you are juggling so much right now and staying strong for your loved ones who need that from you.

I'm grateful you can come here to find YOUR support system of friends and am hoping you can lost for a bit in Fabrizio's music.

Love you with my heart. Please take good and gentle care, mar

"Ebb Tide" goes back deeply in my history. I love this version by Sinatra before he changed his style. Thank you. And a very Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!! Hugs!

Thanks, dear Nellieanna. My Dad gave me a fierce love for Frank's music as well.

Hoping you had a wonderful Thanksgiving - now onto the Christmas season! Hugs to you, Maria

Dear Maria,
Like always, I love your musical selections and will go back listening to Fabrizio Paterlini after I send this away to you. But first I will listen to Frank Sinatra paying tribute to your father, as well as to my own father who would have been 95 on December 19th.
Sending healing thoughts and best wishes to Martie's son-in-law. Thanksgiving wishes from across the miles from my house to yours. May your home be filled with laughter and happiness!
Love and hugs,
Sannel

Dear Sannel,
We do share the memories of our Dads at this time of year - truly bittersweet to me.
Thanks for your visit and your presence in my life. I know Martie appreciates your kind support as well.
Love and hugs to you and Freddie too, Maria
