I think the cello has a haunting quality to it, it captures you and wraps you up in its mood, takes you away on a wave of deep notes that resonate through one's very being. ^_^ I wish when I son was in his school orchestra all those years ago, it was the cello he was learning instead of the trombone ^__^Helen A.

The clips were all beautiful.<br /><br />Living in flat Florida, in the midst of a concrete jungle, I never see the moon until it is well up in the sky. My next house will have to give me the opportunity to see moon and sun rising or I shall not be happy.Laura Enohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09982794146667832204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23892967.post-84159105155561192072012-05-06T12:01:48.936-05:002012-05-06T12:01:48.936-05:00We got some good views of the moon, Jon.

It certainly wasn't "in tune" with the track I was listening to - but the repeated musical phrase caught my ear.<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by and commenting.KjMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17691028465137798738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23892967.post-40506085744140376512012-05-06T11:59:29.356-05:002012-05-06T11:59:29.356-05:00Thanks for the link to another of Mr. Darling'...Thanks for the link to another of Mr. Darling's albums.

I'm trying to wrap my head around how cello music would inspire it. The poem seems full of angst, not something I usually associate with the cello. But then one can never tell where the muse may lead them.<br />~jonJ. M.
