This is wonderful. I read it was performed at the obsequies of Princess Diana. I couldn't watch it. At the day of her death, it was sunday, the 31th of August 1997, I was in my car with some hiking mates in the early morning driving to the start of our hiking tour. We heard that she had died and all of us were shocked.

Yes, it's a beautiful piece. Glad you liked it. Diana's funeral was where I first heard it.

I can’t believe that I wanted to be a disc jockey when I was in high school, but I never told anyone. I like classic Country and Doo Wop, plus music from the 80’s. My friend that posts here on this forum has the largest collection of Doo Wop records that I ever saw. He put a lot of them on flash drives and shares them. He also plays about 4 different instruments, but not drums. He also has a beautiful refinished Wurlitzer jukebox. That’s his pride and joy. Music today is mostly digitized, so it sounds much clearer than on a 45.

One of my happy songs.

I remember that! Yes, no one could be sad during this song!

Was listening to these last night while stretching. Each song seemed to put me right back where I was at the time I first heard it.
Have music on all day when I'm working in the shop, and still stop to sing along, and dance.

And that is what music does! Takes us back to where we wanted to be at the time ! Stays with us forever, if we are that lucky.
You keep dancin', and stay happy.
 
I was a musician for the major part of my life and I still enjoy listening to music BUT, music doesn't need to be everywhere nor all the time. seems as though a lot of people, businesses, offices and public places simply can't function without a soundtrack blasting or blaring over top of everything. In restaurants it can be hard to enjoy a conversation or share a quiet moment. Last dentist visit I was subjected to horrid disco greatest hits during the entire visit. My local grocery store speaker system plays mind-numbing and ear shredding pop music chosen and played by the gum chewing checker who just doesn't care. Enough! darn it.
 
Oh, the good old days when I lived in South Philly and bandstand was there then. I went there one time. Fabian, Frankie Avalon, and Bobby Rydell lived in my neighborhood. If you went to a Catholic school as I did you had to wear something to cover your uniform. So no one could see what catholic school you came from.

It does sound like you are tuned into music no matter where you go or what you do. Perhaps good meditation without the oohhllm factor is a new option for you.
 

Making music, i.e. playing a musical instrument is one of the best exercises for our brains, It's easier than you think to take up an instrument regardless of your age. My wife always argued that she did not have the talent or aptitude to play an instrument. During the pandemic, boredom became my ally, my wife agreed to give it a try. She has been doing great and enjoying it ever since.
