Theses are my thoughts and ramblings as I forge my way through this thing they call life. |
30 Day Blogging Challenge PROMPT May 22nd Music often has the ability to remind us of old memories. In your entry today, be inspired by a specific piece of music or a musical instrument. What feelings/emotions does the music or instrument stir in you? Share a specific memory your chosen song or instrument reminds you of. This version of the Highland Cathedral always brings tears to my eyes. I listen to it loud and proud. (The cats are not thrilled with the sound - wind instruments and all). I think I loved this piece before going to Scotland a few years ago, but this particular version really gets me. When I went to Scotland I went with my Mother and my favourite aunt. We represented the Henderson and the Douglas clans. Ancestral roots run deep in our family. Learning about the history and seeing the landscape was spectacular. I thought it funny that they would say something was quite young and then tell us it was 150 years old - Canada had just turned 150 the summer before. The age of our Country was just young to them. It put things into perspective. I forgot to save this last night before I went to bed!! |
