Enga mellom fjella

1949 Some Enchanted Evening

Some Enchanted Evening
Perry Como (1949)
Association: my mother

I grew up with all the music of "South Pacific" and "Oklahoma". Musicals were big and these were two of the best known.

My mother sang a cappella when she was young. She also sang harmony. She raised us on classical music and musicals.

"Once you have found her, never let her go..." This may explain how I felt moving here and why my blog is named as it is: "Enga mellom fjella ..." .

As I wrote then: "Why stay here? The people. Nicest folks I've ever met. I need to make up 'business cards' to hand out. I meet new people every day. All types of folks. And there are artists and writers here ... everywhere.

I feel at home living downtown where deer gallop down the streets ("Northern Exposure" here I am!), where there is a small town atmosphere, where I can sit here at Butterfly Herbs and be reminded of the 70s (without my angst). I like it here."

That said, it may be time after 12 years to move on.

You say: it's finding that's most difficult.
I say: it's harder, once found, to let go.

Lyrics:

Some enchanted evening, you may see a stranger,
You may see a stranger across a crowded room,
And somehow you know, you know even then,
That somehow you'll see here again and again.
Some enchanted evening, someone may be laughing,
You may hear her laughing across a crowded room,
And night after night, as strange as it seems,
The sound of her laughter will sing in your dreams.
Who can explain it, who can tell you why?
Fools give you reasons, wise men never try.
Some enchanted evening, when you find your true love,
When you hear her call you across a crowded room,
Then fly to her side and make her your own,
Or all through your life you may dream all alone.
Once you have found her, never let her go,
Once you have found her, never let her go.
