Perhaps the most beautiful music ever written ...

Gustav Mahler's unfinished Tenth Symphony ... the last movement ... the fifth movement ...

Why I care? Well, it is because it is probably the most PERFECT piece of music EVER composed. I cry ever time I listen to it. Even more the the ending of Puccini's La Boheme.

I cannot post a listen-to link here, but seek it out.

Everything I ever cared about is in this half-hour movement.

Create your life again ... just listen to it.

Your friend always ... Rich

It has been a while ... but not really

I had a few rough years, but I survived. Why? I do not know. I fainted several times, due to lack of food or water, or stress. But I am OK now. I still have the same friends and supporters. At least I hope so.

Well, I am also 68 years old now. And yes, that is old. But I do not think about it. Hm, I realize I'm not using contractions much .

Living in Poughkeepsie, New York now. and happy.

More to come. I'm just distracted now ... ooo ... I just did watch the C.S.Lewis movie version of 'The Chronicles of Nania: the Lion and the Witch and the Wardrobe' I loved it.

Well, for now, be good, stay steady, and know that good times mix with bad.
