Emerson, Lake, and Palmer - Fanfare for the Common Man.

Ballet. I am not crazy about Opera. having said that, I have a CD entitled, Wagner Ohne Worte (without words). Now that I do like!

Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky or Adolphe Adam?

In another thread, mention was made of Greg Lake as part of King Crimson. Well, here is Keith Emerson when a member of The Nice, with Sibelius' Karelia Suite.

I have, to a degree. I spent thirteen years working in factories that made lightbulbs. The only thing that made it bearable was that I was a production supervisor.

WYE work a permanent night shift?

This past Saturday I had a bad seizure in my leg and I fell, hitting the kitchen tile face first. I was in a terrible amount of pain and am still sporting a swollen black eye. I had a couple rough days and here I am. It still hurts to chew or touch the surrounding area. I've been resting mostly. I think I'm going to take a short break from SS. Who knows? I'll be back tomorrow. I just wanted to keep you all in the loop.

I've been away for a few days so I missed this. I hope you are feeling much better now, Ellie. Big Hugs. 🤗🫂

Passchendaele (Canadian movie about a famous WWI battle by writer/actor/director Paul Gross drawing on his grandfather's reminisences of WWI)

I have that on DVD. The 'making of' segment explains how he used a photo belonging to his Grandfather to recreate the battlefield scenes.

I hate the thought of a cashless society. More and more shops here are card only now so I try to avoid them.

Headphones or earbuds?

Doctors and nurses, let's play.

Nope.

WYE Massively overpay for something that you wanted, just because it was hard to find?

"Evening all!"

Just thought I'd drop in, having spotted you discussing war memories. I was too late for the war, but my Mum and Dad both did their bit. My Mum was 15 at the start, but by 1945, she had done clerical work in offices in London and also did her bit, building Lancaster Bomber parts in Croyden.

My Dad, however, was ten years older (they met in 1949). He was an Aircraft Engine Mechanic in the Royal Air Force. He volunteered in 1940 and spent the Battle of Britain servicing Bristol Beaufighter Night Fighters at Middle Wallop in Hampshire. In 1941, he was posted to Egypt, where he remained until the war's end.

My Mum always talked about the places she worked but never mentioned anything about the air raids. I can only guess that she was never directly affected by them. I also don't think my Dad had too bad a time in Egypt, having spent his entire career behind the lines. I am aware, however, that he was involved in recovering damaged aircraft from the desert. He passed away in 1983, aged just 68. My mum, on the other hand, kept going until 2019, aged 95.

I served in the RAF as a Gas Turbine Technician, from 1979 to 1988. I didn't intentionally follow in my father's footsteps but, who knows, maybe subconsciously...?

I know this snippet was uninvited, but I hope you find it interesting nonetheless.
