Thanks for listening over these last 101 compositions. As you may know, the monthly poems ceased on the 1st of this month with five limericks; and the daily stories, with story 1001, finish this coming Thursday the 7th. That’s tomorrow! Amen! And for those who know music theory, that’s usually a plagal cadence!
Hey Bruce, should you ever decide to get your passport renewed then Sydney is not far and you are always welcome
Thank you Shubha!
And then, it’s not all that far to Victoria and the nice little town of Myrtleford. We’d give you folks a right royal welcome.
Myrtleford sounds like a good name for a little hamlet in a novel
I’ve got just the title “The Floss on the Miller”, set in the rustic village of Myrtleford.
Do you think it’ll sell? It could end up being a bit flour-y.
Nyuk-nyuk, that’s corny.
Something to floss over!
My gosh, there’s so much to know in music theory, even cadences have a little world of their own.
Amen to that!
Oh, a lovely and fitting final piece! I shall miss the ritual of listening to your tunes while I make breakfast.
Thank you, Bianca! May breakfast never give you indigestion!
once had a Moog – great sounds but (this was the early eighties) it was monophonic , so not too much of a keyboard! Perhaps one day you’ll return to your musical interludes. All the best. Chris
Thanks Chris!
You are so talented! Don’t disappear!
Thank you for the compliment. Disappearing is a talent in itself!
Soft as a rose
The light from the East
As if all is forgiven
And wolves become sheep
We are who we are
Or we’re not
But at least
We’ll eventually all fall asleep
Eventually all fall asleep. ~Paul Simon (Insomniac’s Lullaby)
Such grace and panache, sparkling wit and mischievous humour. Your daily servings will be missed.
Thanks to Paul Simon and of course to you. It is greatly appreciated. There is of course still one story to go!!
Simon too is bowing out, quite like you. But the strains will linger longer than all of us.
A beautiful finale
Thank you, Derrick.
I loved your stories, Bruce, and I will definitely go back and read whatever stories I have missed. They are humorous but stunningly true slices of fictional life. Your music will be missed too.
Hope Craig remembers to whom he owes at least a part of his success.
I owe you a lot of chuckles 🙂
Thank you. Your comments are greatly appreciated.
I seem to have missed this one, but have been systematically listening to and enjoying your music compositions. I like the serious/sad ones the best. If I could compose music as well as you do, I’d put my cat lullaby (Sleep, My Little Cabbage) to music. But I can’t, so I won’t. I’m glad you are keeping these accessible.
Thanks, Cynthia. Glad someone is enjoying them! Am about to watch the first of the US presidential debates. Am about to make a nice cup of coffee and sit prepared to doze on the sofa! Do you have the written tune to “Sleep, My Little Cabbage”?
It’s 11:30 pm here….of course I watched the debate too..OMG what can I say? Hillary surely rubs me the wrong way…Trump is holding back a bit (he was gentlemanly and didn’t take advantage of some zingers he could have made) maybe saving stuff for the next debates when she will be repeating the same formulaic stuff again.
I’m going to have a snifter of brandy and go to bed. My “little cabbage” lullaby is really just a simple refrain + verses situation. It’s in my blog archives from this past March….
