Bright Moments

late again to the party but wanted to put my 2 cents in for this one with sonny greenwich -

finished disc 1 - alone in my car! enjoyed the music (i could feel the energy that was making the music!) - much thanks chuck! on to disc 2!

Invictus Out of the night that covers me, Black as the Pit from pole to pole, I thank whatever gods may be For my unconquerable soul. In the fell clutch of Circumstance I have not winced nor cried aloud. Under the bludgeonings of Chance My head is bloody, but unbowed. Beyond this place of wrath and tears Looms but the Horror of the shade, And yet the menace of the years Finds, and shall find me, unafraid. It matters not how strait the gate, How charged with punishments the scroll, I am the master of my fate: I am the captain of my soul. --William Ernest Henley 1875

i just started to listen to disc one. i had no preconcieved notions on what to expect - i just sat back on the couch, closed my eyes and listened. half-way through nonaah (track 1 disc 1) i was shaken by my 10 year old - "dad, dad!!!! what is that!!! why is he playing that over and ovar again!!! i can't get it out of my head!! make it STOP!!!!!" oh well - i will try to spin it again when i am alone in the house. thanks chuck for getting it to me!
