L(ov/if)e Story
[A combination of “Letters of Gratitude” and “The Sountrack of Your Year” challenges] . . My love, We are reaching the end of this first year, 2024, with no interruption of you in my mind and I want to thank you for your constant presence in my nomad life. I want to give you something that would remain in our minds no matter the passing-by of years to come. Since I know you love music as much as I do, this letter will be a humble musical depiction of what my world looked like/felt like throughout the year. I want you to see how, even when you were not physically there at times, you were always there with me.

Unveiling the Mystique: A Deep Dive into the World of Mirrors on the Moon
With an evocative name that brings to mind images of celestial beauty and introspection, Mirrors on the Moon has become a rising force in the contemporary music scene. This is the kind of band defined by their emotive lyrics, ethereal soundscapes, and bold artistic vision. The result is a kind of music that is both heartfelt and meaningful in a world of trends.

Hinky Dinky Parlez Vous
No I am not speaking some strange language. I just got to thinking about what people enjoyed listening to before rock and roll came along and through two World Wars. Oh yes, as horrible and as frightening as it might seem there were plenty of songs and a lot of music to like but there was no rock and roll. However people did survive and they also danced and enjoyed themselves.

The Role of Music in Our Lives
Humans devote ample time to producing and listening to music. What music offers to humans is universally valued. This universality raises the question of the origin of human musicality. What is music for, and why does every human culture have it? Current theories focus on emotion regulation, social cohesion, such as group bonding, or the bond between parents and children, and communication. Here are six main reasons why we appreciate music (Spitzer, 2021).

How Does Music Evoke Emotion?
Music is remarkable in its ability to evoke profound emotions — chills and thrills — in listeners. And being emotionally moved by music is an inherently pleasurable experience. Most music listeners use emotional expression as the most important factor in valuing music and the decision to buy a song (Juslin, 2019). How does music move us?

My Harvest Vinyl Collection
Introduction I can't remember for certain the first Harvest record that I bought. My brother bought "Black Night" by Deep Purple and I then bought "In Rock" because both records shared the song "Speed King" which I always wanted to sing live, but, so far, have not had the opportunity. "In Rock" is back in my vinyl collection along with the ones I have included in the lead photograph, and this is a playlist of songs from Harvest Label records that are in my vinyl collection.

They Got The Blues
Introduction I was listening to an album on the roots of Jimi Hendrix and the first song on was "Killing Floor" by Howlin' Wolf. Then I thought that Blues singers often had such excellent alternate names. Mckinley Morganfield became Muddy Waters although is real name was something special too.

Sad Christmas Songs Say So Much
Some people listen to all kinds of Christmas music and others carefully choose what they like to hear. There is nothing wrong with listening to these beautiful but sad Christmas songs if your heart aches for someone. Even sad songs bring memories shining through and can even make us smile when we remember. So I hope your Christmas will be merry and bright and enjoy these poignant songs. I have sandwiched them between two of the most beautiful that are favorites of mine beginning with “Blue Christmas” by Elvis and ending with “Pretty Paper” by Roy Orbison.
