Led Zeppelin And Solitaire

I like to zone out now and then playing solitaire on the computer and listening to music . Last night I was doing just that .I found a bunch of classic Led Zeppelin songs .As I listened to them , realized how timelessly classic they were . The music is just as awesome as the first time I heard it . The lyrics are as relevant today as they were " back in the day" . The talent, amazing .

I heard Led Zeppelin growing up and it was like back ground music to life , you know , you hear something but don't really pay that much attention to it ? Their music was in all the disco's and club that we went to , but again , I just heard it , not felt it .My nephews and kids actually were the ones that truly introduced me to Led Zeppelin.  Same thing with Pink Floyd , but that is another story for another time .

How crazy is it to " discover ' something that has been around for years in your life and yet never noticed . Anyway ,I thought I would share with you one of my favorite tunes by Led Zeppelin, "Kashmir" , played unplugged in concert on MTV . I think this is the way the song was meant to sound in the beginning . It makes me think of Libya's wadis , or dry river beds, that come to life only in the rainy season.

Pink Floyd , Babies , And Nowhere To Go

Last week was one of those weeks when so much was panned and nothing got done . Don't you just hate it when that happens ?Like running in place , never got that , why run if you aren't going somewhere in the process .

A friend and I have planned a trip to the mountains for a year. I was charged , ready to go , made all kinds of arrangements for the trip . Juggled around Moe's schedule to make sure he was ok , only to find out at the 12th hour it was no go . I was disappointed to say the least but , you know , stuff happens so , next time .

I needed to go grocery shopping , which at the best of times isn't a while lot of fun here . For one thing you can't count on a consistent supply of consumer goods . That means one time you go shopping and you can find ... oh , maybe peanut butter , but not syrup .Then the next time there aren't any of those items but something else that you have waited for a long time . Currently on my list is Worcestershire sauce . It was a staple all last year and now I can't find it anywhere , sigh ! So , this too is turning out not to be such smooth sailing task to accomplish, as simple as it should be , it hasn't been . I still haven't made it to those shopping aisles , yet more delays .

My grandson was quite ill this last week, also . Hopefully he will be better soon . Nothing too serious but with little ones even small things can get out of hand if not closely monitored . So that sorta sums up my week ; stop and start , red light , green light, hurry up to go no where .

We did get some wonderful news this week . My youngest daughter went for her 5th month maternity check up to see her baby's sex by a ultra sound . She is having a lovely little girl !!! Can't tell you how thrilled we were to learn all is well with her and the baby .

On a bright note ..... Music Lover sent a comment to my post " A Special Present" ... Pink Floyd's song " Coming Back To Life " . You can listen to it here . I did . I hadn't heard this before and as usual Pink Floyd "speaks " to my heart . Love them !!!! I went to YouTube and listened to a few of my favorite Pink Floyd songs and watched their videos .Here is one of my all time favorites " Comfortably Numb". "Sorrow" is a haunting tune . Well , lets just face it , there will never be anything like Pink Floyd's music ever again . The music resonates through you as it connects to your soul . Pink Floyd has pulled me through some pretty bad times in the past . Floyd RULES !
