Re: What A Wonderful World
So thought provoking, Marion. And how lucky those who have the eyes and the will to observe such beauty have been given the medium to do so.
I must say though, the white cockatoos that started to chew the railings on our back verandah have been sternly rebuked.

' Appreciate Appreciate'

Speaking of the 1812 overture, it was often played at Royal Albert hall. A new conductor was appointed and a patron asked ,'will you still play the 12 minutes past six overture'?It has also been refered to as the one eight one two as well.
