Recently a person from my high school sent an email that talked about music,a poem actually.
It got me a pondering music,again.
I love new, old and ancient music from the Beatles to Bach and back again..the thing about music for me is that it is a time tunnel and when i hear some selections, i travel back in my memory to where i was, who was there, what i thought about dis and dat....and just for a moment my skin fits nicely once again.
"Sleep Walk" is one of those wonderful tunes that i love. it gives me chicken skin when i hear the first notes. It must be the steel guitar that gets to me.And that haunting melody. The steel guitar is so loved by Hawaiian musicians .
While i am in a musical mood,
While i am in a musical mood,
| Today was the birthday of jazz musician Louis Armstrong ( august 4,1901), also known as "Satchmo." |
Armstrong's most famous, and enduring, song is "What a Wonderful World" (1967),
and claimed as his favorite. It is another wonderful song that almost seems to me to be a prayer of gratefulness.
I love this song .I have a post with that youtube if you check in my labels, down the right column with those wonderful quotes i so love, you can pull it up.

Oh yeah, great song! Do you subscribe to the Writer's Almanac too? That is where I read about "Satchmo" just a day or two ago.
Yes Jan i do. I consider it vitamin Garrison, taken daily!
last year i put the Satchmo youtube singing "it's a wonderful world " in my post.
For me music is such a rich source of art, memories,emotions and joy recalled.
"Sleep Walk" is such a great song! Thanks for sharing and bringing back memories.
