A Robin fills the back garden with its song, Earley, Reading, Berkshire, UK.

"November comes and November goes;

with the last red berries and first white snows;

with night coming early and dawn coming late,

and ice in the bucket and frost at the gate.

The fires burn, and the kettles sing,

all earth sinks to rest until next spring."

-Clyde Watson-

This knockout QUITE stopped me in my tracks at this show, after a day of seeing some absolutely beautiful cars. But this girl is something special. As you can imagine, she was surrounded, but I did my best. A few kind folks did see me trying to get pictures and waited, and I always appreciate that!

 

FYI: There is a '66 Buick nailhead under the hood.

It's quite a warm day, which is very rare during this time of the year. Days are getting longer and evenings brighter, thus in return all trains of Fenniarail have much easier departures from Kurkimäki, like in the case of the Dr18 number 106 which is clearly showing sing of accelation as it has just got its own train in motion.

So here goes..

 

01. My name is Randy Alboria Yu, 31 years old, married to Tata 3 years ago and we have no kids yet.

 

02. My father is half-Chinese and my mother has a Spanish blood. Ironically, I don't speak both languages but I can speak a total of 4 other languages. Filipino, English, Japanese and our own dialect which is Cebuano (Bisaya).

 

03. I hailed from a small town in Northern Mindanao called Nasipit but left it when I was 16 to study in UP Diliman. There, I became a member of a Fraternity, Melo and attyubag are some of my brods.

 

04. My mother worked in Tokyo for more than 20 years and I followed her here in 2001. I am presently working in Gabon Embassy as an Assistant of the Ambassador but I have worked as Embassy driver; a Club waiter, a bartender and a manager; a construction worker (painter); a Club DJ and a host (hosto). :P I also worked as an NGO's Operations Manager, one that facilitates the first Filipino caregivers here in Japan.

 

05. I paint with watercolor until I was 25, and I will try to paint again.

 

06. In sports, I play Basketball, Tennis, Volleyball, Baseball, Football, Badminton and Table-tennis, and with it I considered myself athletic. :P I also play Airsoft.

 

07. I love to sing and I love to dance. Sometimes I annoy/amaze my wife with moves only my mother would appreciate.. :P

 

08. I am a joker by nature, my jokes depend on my mood. Sometimes I crack a joke that will send all people around me laughing but sometimes.. I'm the only one who laughs at it.

 

09. I am a Mitsubishi lover, my first car was a Mitsubishi Pajero and I currently drive a Mitsubishi GTO.

 

10. My brain's range is varying, it can be that of a 10-year old, playing video games all day with not a care in the world or that of a 50-year old talking business or attending meetings and making points that my boss is suppose to do but he just can't because of a super hectic schedule.

“Singing is such an excellent thing, that I wish all people would sing” ~ Richard Byrd

 

How appropriate that Mr Byrd would write such a quote.

What would you think if I sang out of tune

Would you stand up and walk out on me?

Lend me your ears and I'll sing you a song

And I'll try not to sing out of key

Oh I get by with a little help from my friends

Mm I get high with a little help from my friends

Mm gonna try with a little help from my friends

Een van de liedjes tijdens het bezoek aan Bokrijk - de sixties.

music: clifford brown

lyrics: jon hendricks (of lambert, hendricks, & ross)

 

We sing a spring

(Sing joy spring)

A rare and most mysterious spring

(This most occult thing)

Is buried deep in the soul

(It's story never has been told)

 

The joy spring, the fountain of pleasure

Is deep inside you whether you're diggin it or not

Once you're aware of this spring

You'll know that it's the greatest

Treasure you've got

 

And furthermore

The joy spring, the bounteous treasure

Cannot be bartered away and never

Can be sold

Nothing can take it from you

It's yours and yours alone to have

And to hold

 

And something more

It never is lost to fire or theft

It's always around

When trouble is gone the pleasure is left

I've always found

It's burglar-proof same as the treasure

Man lays up in heaven worth a

Price no one can measure

That says a lot

 

So joy spring this fountain of pleasure

That's deep inside you let me inform

You in all truth

 

Ponce de Leon sought this

When he was searchin for the fountain of youth

Ol' Ponce de Leon laughed so much he

Never did find the magic fountain

But many people with a well-adjusted

Spirit they could hear it when you told

Them it was there tellin them was

Like tellin it on the mountain

 

It's quite a life havin the gift of laughter

I'm a man who knows in a minute

I can tell you just exactly how the story goes

It involves a firm conviction in another

Previous life givin your mind a chance to fly

Fly around the universe investigatin other

Galaxies & certain other subtle

Types of life tryin to dig it gettin

Pretty well-acquainted with a lot of

Other strife & pretty much acquirin

Yourself plenty of education

 

Pretty soon here comes earth birth

& then you're ready to put it all to work

But soon as you're finished bein born

You start forgettin what you knew

Cause you're another kinda you

A reincarnation manifestation

Of spirit in sensation

 

You really got that right

The average person isn't bright

Not so bright that they recall the fatal fall

Down here t'o this earth

Their minds disguise their death to spirit

Life and call it birth

That's their reason for forgettin and they

Find it very upsettin when reminded

Tell them they've lived before

They'll show you the nearest open door

Gotta have feelin while dealin with

Walkers in their sleep

They can't imagine somethin as deep

 

Here they come - here they come - there they are

Unimaginative and ignorant of fallin from a star

Here they come - there they are - there they go

Life is over in a minute & they never dug

It in it or enjoy a minute of it

Cause they put too much above it

That was gross

Somethin that was worth a couple bucks

At most

 

So there is the reason that the maker of man

Included there in his plan

A certain fountain deep within

Where there was laughter, youth & gold

For human beings to have & hold

& share the memory of where we've all been

 

Brothers called Grimm knew chances were slim

Anybody would dig that the human soul was Snow White

And the Seven Dwarfs were seven tempers in man

Whose diggin out the gold completes the plan

& Bacon was hip that Shakespeare couldn't read

And so he gave him all the rhymes

That have lasted through the years

And kept eternal truths alive through several centuries

That's how we know them now

They lasted cause they're true

 

What was it from Macbeth?

"Life's but a walking shadow

a player poor

that struts and frets upon the stage

and's seen no more

a tale that truly has an idiotic ring

that's full of lotsa sound and fury

signifying nothing..."

 

That's right signifying nothing

I'll repeat it, nothing!

Don't forget it, nothing!

And that's the reason for that spring

Of joy

 

Showtime, everyone's on

Let's hit the stage

It's showtime everyone

& proceed to act your age

 

Whatever you're frownin at is funny

Enough laughin

So you're wastin all your humor on a frown

While you're bringin your spirit down

 

You gotta book yourself a comic in your act

Without some laughter life's a maudlin

Farce & that's a fact

 

Once you know about the spring

You always can smile

It becomes your one expression

And you're always wearin' it

Like the buddhas do

 

(um, and i think there's more ... !)

A House Wren, a rather plain looking bird but a wonderful little singer. He was so caught up in his singing, in fact, that I was able to get remarkably close.

Baton Rouge. Oct 2021

The sculpture, named Sing The River, on the Mississippi River levee in downtown Baton Rouge, Louisiana, is connected to sensors in the river and plays music that corresponds with the rise and fall of the water.

put away the beeps, the vibrates, the rings

just wade into the tide and hear the earth sing

 

enjoy the day, my peeps !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

For a swap on Art 42.

The shore-lark soars to his topmost flight,

Sings at the height where morning springs,

What though his voice be lost in the light,

The light comes dropping from his wings.

 

Mount, my soul, and sing at the height

Of thy clear flight in the light and the air,

Heard or unheard in the night in the light

Sing there! Sing there!

Hark the Herald Angels Sing

Glory to the new born King

Peace on Earth and mercy mild

God and sinner reconciled.

 

Joyful all Ye Angels Sing...

Trying to attract a mate. This beauty has a great song.

Singing is the art of creating music with the voice. It is the oldest form of musical expression, and the human voice can be considered the first musical instrument.

Thank you for your visit my friend, much appreciated :)

School Girl sings - she's ready to rock this joint.

 

Our small Christmas tree has arrived and Linus thinks this event calls for a Christmas carol. Be grateful that you can't hear him, he is a terrible singer with a preference for the high notes and he knows no mercy. I wonder if they sell earplugs in jumbo packs .....

It was so exciting to see this little guy whilst visiting Maun.. Thanks to Pete Hancock for taking me out on a wonderful afternoon drive..

This finely crafted 1930 Stutz Model M Speedster two-passenger speedster with body by LeBaron is one of only two currently known to exist. It is a truly one-off automobile, as every Stutz Model M built was unique.

 

It is a short wheelbase model with the optional 'HC' high compression engine, which features a worm gear differential. As with other Stutz models, it features 4-wheel hydraulic brakes with variable assist and a 4-speed transmission. An additional features is the beautiful engine turned instrument panel, a unique and unusual special order, along with the bold two-tone black and yellow leather interior with arm rest, which truly compliments the as original bright yellow exterior finish featuring deep red wheels.

 

This history of this car, a M 2-Passenger Speedster, has been documented to 1949 when owner Joseph McNutt ran the car on the Granville Rally and the Glidden Tour. Next, it was owned by noted collector Ben Johnson, who confirmed that the paint and upholstery remained in original colors. During its life, it spent some time in the Crawford Museum. It spent several decades in the Wisconsin Auto Museum, and in 1963, it was shown in an Indianapolis newspaper where the owners had driven the car to over 100 miles per hour at an event held at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

It should be noted that the picture of the car was recorded at the 2019 Milwaukee Concours d’Elegance, however, it was transported from Wisconsin to Michigan by yours truly…………….regrettably not physically but figuratively (or more correctly, “digitally”). When it is not possible to take distractions (people, signs, etc) out of the original scene, one needs to take the car away from the distractions. In this instance, the car has been placed into the scenic grounds of the Gilmore Museum in Hickory Corners, Michigan. However, this car has “physically” appeared at the Gilmore Museum on at least one, if not more occasions - as indicated here: flic.kr/p/24jAvCA

   

Excellent stories, Cloudland was my favorite.
