Music

Love makes a man give up his throne to marry a divorcee. Emperor Shah Jahan built the Taj Mahal as a monument to his wife.

These must be very special and groovy kinds of love. https://youtu.be/bPJYT7LigtY

On this first and coldest day of the season, I decided to enjoy the classic American breakfast combination of Apple Pie and Coffee.

There is a back story to this. When our family migrated from Cuba and I did not speak English, and neither did my parents. They taught me two phrases. ‘ I know nothing about politics’  and ‘ Apple Pie and Coffee’. Those were the first words I memorized learned how to say.

"Music is a higher revelation than all wisdom and philosophy." — Ludwig van Beethoven born on this date, 16 December 1770.

Ludwig van Beethoven was a German composer and pianist. He remains one of the most admired composers in the history of Western music; his works rank amongst the most performed of the classical music repertoire and span the transition from the Classical period to the Romantic era in classical music..

This year would have been the 50th anniversary of SOUL TRAIN a music program that lasted for 35 seasons on American television.

Soul Train was an American music-dance television program that aired in syndication from October 2, 1971, to March 27, 2006.

A show that was billed as the hippest trip in America and primarily featured performances by Rhythm & Blues, Soul, dance/pop, and hip hop artists, although funk, jazz, disco, and gospel artists were also appealing and appeared.

It is the most wonderful time of the year, and as Christmas comes near which to me is dear, I'm offering this here if you want to hear.

It’s already beginning to look a little like Christmas, nearly everywhere you go. As Thanksgiving draws near in a few short weeks, many cities and towns are already getting the jump on their Christmas holiday programs, particularly to give potential participants notice to join in the joyous festivities.

I got wonderful gifts for my birthday, including a modern air purifier from my dear daughters.

The surprises included texts that I read as well as cards, emails and voice mails I heard. However since I no loger visit that platform which has recently lost face, I apologize to all those freinds who may have sent greetings, but did not take the time required to read my parting messages of Adios Amigos, ands Hasta La Vista!

Seasons Greetings from #CityImages. This is the first full week of the most wonderful three months and our favorite time of the year.

And so it begins... The best trimester of the year. Regardless of whether you're using the ancient Aztec Calendar or not.

We enjoy these three months because October's still Hispanic History Month, UB’s birthday, and then followed by Halloween. November is Thanksgiving, a time to enjoy family and friends. December is Christmas, a time when everyone feels special.

Today Is the 21st of September, which means it may be time to listen and delve into the Earth, Wind & Fire classic smash hit.

But do you remember why the band happened to chose the 21st as the date for the song? Many assume it has to do with the seasons changing September 21 is the first day of Autumn. It happens to be the international day of peace. The simple reality is that it rhymes nicely..

Some folks are already getting into the scary Halloween spirit early on with pre seasonal events running through the end of October..
 

Therefore CityImages decided to get on the Trick or Treat train early on this year..Which costume will be more popular this season of the witch?
