Yes, I wou...Thanks for the guest spot, Twilight. <br /><br />Yes, I would say that Miss Lindeman made a lasting impression on me. My dad also. How would I remember many years later that it was that particular Benny Goodman recording that he played for me?anyjazzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03319237414264543250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-53118968606977398082017-04-18T16:42:10.433-05:002017-04-18T16:42:10.433-05:00RJ Adams ~ What lovely memories of your uncle, RJ...RJ Adams ~ What lovely memories of your uncle, RJ! And what a good read that is - I shall go read there some more whenever I can tear myself away from recent flippin' political nonsensities on both sides of t'pond. I'll pass the link on to the husband also - thank you!<br /><br />My first memory of an old wind up gramophone dates back to the years just after the war when we lived in a house attached to a bakery store, with a huge room above the shop - no furniture in it (we didn't have anything to put in it!) There was, however, a wind-up gramophone sitting on the wide window seat, and a few 78 rpm records which my Mum and Dad, plus a lodger, used to learn ballroom dancing. LOL! The lodger, Bill, a customs officer from Hull docks insisted on drawing on the wooden floor, in chalk, places where the dancers' feet had to go to perform waltz, quickstep or whatever. So the tunes I recall from those early years are mainly Victor Sylvester's orchestra playing music to bring on a bit of the old terpsichore. :-)Twilighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14138621610593773784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-79159776123046790772017-04-18T12:19:25.471-05:002017-04-18T12:19:25.471-05:00Ah, yes, AnyJazz, has once more stirred a few memo...Ah, yes, AnyJazz, has once more stirred a few memories with this one. No Miss Lindeman for me, but my old Uncle Wally the one who, possibly unwittingly, stirred the deep love of music in my heart. I wrote a short piece about it in Sparrow Chat's 'Bits & Bobs' section. You (or AnyJazz) may be interested in perusing it. Its the second tale down at this link (titled - of course - "A Sound Of Music":<br /><br />https://sparrowchat.com/bits-bobs-page-2/<br /><br />R J Adamshttps://sparrowchat.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-16949000869679390792017-04-18T00:01:53.477-05:002017-04-18T00:01:53.477-05:00LB ~ No - I didn't know that.

There are numerous movies with a mythically wonderful teacher as their focus, one who inspires and creates seeming miracles in their previously bad or indifferent students. I've wondered whether teachers such as these do in fact exist in real life, never having met one myself. My husband was lucky enough to have done so though. :-)<br /><br />That sounds to be a very good read LB - hope you enjoy! Perhaps the power of music is related to its unseen but strongly felt vibrations, which, as well as inspiring mentally can affect the physical body too.Twilighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14138621610593773784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-40850777373545562312017-04-17T16:09:56.958-05:002017-04-17T16:09:56.958-05:00What a beautiful way to teach children how to deep...What a beautiful way to teach children how to deeply listen, see, observe and appreciate. There were probably untapped hidden treasures within Miss Lindeman as well.:)<br /><br />Just last night I began reading "Waking the Spirit: A Musician's Journey Healing Body, Mind, and Soul" by Andrew Schulman. In a nutshell, it's about the transformative and healing power of music:<br /><br />https://www.amazon.com/Waking-Spirit-Musicians-Journey-Healing/dp/1250055776/ref=cm_rdp_productLBnoreply@blogger.com
