The 5 Browns - Rhapsody in Blue

A dear friend of mine recently recommended I should check out this group. They are five siblings, all trained at Juilliard and all playing Steinway pianos...it's absolutely mind blowing and ear tickling all at the same time. Turn up the volume and check out the video below - enjoy!

Yes. That is what I said. Actually, that's what my sinuses just told the pain receptors in my head. I'm sick. And feel like complaining about it.

*mumble-grumble*

There. I have that out of my system for a while. In the meantime, this made me laugh, so I will share it with you.

Dancing in the rain.

Have you ever experienced a sun shower? That perfect moment on a summer's afternoon where you laughingly look up into the sky while warm raindrops shower your face and your senses are overpowered by the sweet smells and joyful sounds. Have you noticed that the birds do not stop their singing? They all join in this great chorus of excited chatter while raindrops drip from the eaves, pelt the ground and flip from the poplar leaves. Flowers nod their heads in time and the cat sits under the front porch, tail twitching, looking disgusted with the wet. You run for cover under the trees...or maybe you spread your arms and dance in crazy circles to nature's rhythm. 

This frosty fall evening I am listening to some music which Eric suggested I may enjoy. Which I do. Very much. The composer's name is Ludovico Einaudi, and the album is Divenire. The genre is minimalist contemporary classical (so Eric has explained) and it makes me think of sun showers. Any music which can transport my mind so completely to a blissful memory is worth recommending to others.

Don't forget to jump in a puddle every now and again.
