Your absence is felt. I had no idea that you've been cruising in the lap of luxury! Well, I am so relieved and so happy that you are well and enjoying the beauty of Alaska. While I write this, the browser is displaying the cover of Penguin's 1982 album "Life is a lollipop". It seems appropriate as I congratulate you on taking the time to enjoy this life we've been given. Very interesting thoughts on the music which has become associated with carefree, vacationing even when it's far removed from the tropics. Enjoy!!<br />Blessings to you and yours.Guanaguanarehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16633889363662650322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22112793.post-92005949668044374012010-06-19T20:48:40.082-04:002010-06-19T20:48:40.082-04:00Hi Guanaguanare,

Well, here were these hundreds of passengers enjoying the Oldies being played by a Filipino trio, the sound embellished periodically by a synthesized steelpan , at times a line or two from a very old calypso such as "Mathilda", and I would hazard that not more than one or two of the listeners could acknowledge the source of their enjoyment.louishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02724442924909561263noreply@blogger.com
