I like what you said here. There are some great artists singing today, especially some of the sisters! I was just reading about learning to sing like Taylor Swift, her voice is so amazing. Do you like her? Of course nobody is like Beyonce! Visit my site if you'd like to read more. There's also a game there u can play - it's here! Thanks again for this blog - it is really well-done.

“Multitasking tears” is such beautiful English! Might use it (with attribution of-course). Great example of what I always say about the most versatile language known to man. People of other languages often point out that the unsurpassed volume of our vocabulary is largely built from either poaching that of others or modern technical terms. They ignore the fact that sooner or later, people combine jargon with the oldest words to forge such eloquent, deep metaphors. It amazes me that jewels such as these are just lying around on random blogs all over the Web. Thanks!

Alistair, listen to the 3rd movement of Rachmaninov’s Second Symphony or the final of Mahler’s Ninth. They usually get me through the bad times. All the best, Martin

Hi Alistair, just watching you down here in NZ, Place in the Country I think it is. How does it feel to be such an international face! I, too, and sorry about your seperation. But, as trite as it sounds, It’s better to have loved and lost… etc etc. Just letting you know that you’re appreciated and regarded fondly on the other side of the world. All the very best, (and am pleased you liked Beyonce… my ‘makes me cry’ music is Mama Mia. (Don’t ask me why).
Kindest regards,
Elaine

I’ll join the chorus of condolences over parting with your
partner. May you find a greater guy.
It’s quite disagreeable lining a pop tart (albeit talented one0
with the greats, Shakespeare, Purcell, Christie. I have to
pooh-pooh you. Maybe that’s what drove your man away?
Just don the golden lame youself next time.:)
