^ Very fun! Thanks Tom. This movie just moved up on my list of which to watch first. I love musicals!

And yes T-Man, I know the positions of the chess pieces are wrong in the picture in my post on the previous page, but it communciates.

...Not to mention the "Check Mate' was a reference to the musical "One Night in Bangkok" comes from... "Chess"
(actually I realised it was an appropriate phrase to the musical after I posted it....I think my subconscious has woken up )

Blues Brothers... a must see. You get to see Carrie Fisher packing heat

I've seen it many times (the ABBA connection, remember?), just was gleefully trying to draw the connection to ABBA without paying attention to the ACTUAL words I was using LOL

A few posts back I mentioned that Crosby, Stills & Nash, "CSN" was my most precious album. My dad left me one hell of a vinyl record collection, but "CSN" was one of two unopened records, and I had never heard it. He handed it to me shortly before passing and told me to open it after he was gone. He said he prayed I could hear some things from it that he had always wanted to tell me but couldn't because I was too hard-headed to hear. I just finished listening to it again for only the second time in my life, the first time being on the 1st anniversary of his passing, and all I did then was cry. This time is different. I can't say that I'm finding much "beauty in the breakdown" yet Bluesman, but I do feel like I just gained 20 years worth of wisdom in only 2 hours of listening to and pondering the lyrics (in light of the things dad was able to teach me).

Here's the album in its entirety. Anyone who's never given it a good listen, I HIGHLY recommend it. Great lyrics, very tight musicianship (not just players of instruments, but musicians), beautiful melodies and some of the loveliest harmonies I've ever heard:

Crosby, Stills & Nash - CSN

The second of the two unopened albums he left me is "Best of Bread". He told me not to get married until I found the man who mirrored the heart of the lyrics from that album, at least for the most part. Well, as we all know I'm still single <sigh>. The only man I've met like that from my generation is married to my best friend. (Good thing for her he's faithful- LOL- Just kidding- Sort of. ):

Best of Bread
"Baby I'm A Want You", "Diary", "Everything I Own" and "If"

Thnx for sharing...such an intimate moment/story. It seems your Father found the language he needed to speak to you and that was music. Not meaning to be presumptuous, but it seems the gift he left you was a way to feel his comfort if you needed it.

David Gates wrote the lyrics to many of my youthfull romantic d'alliances . Day dreaming of the imaginary romance and wishful thinkings. The Best of Bread was a long time companion (although the teen aged 'rock and roller/metal fan' would never admit it )

And what kind of gentleman would I be if not to return your post with a post you might like.

If you know of Bread only from their "Best of" album, you may not know Bread's song for the movie of the same name, Really a beautiful song
