Last Saturday I attended a gorgeous concert performed by one of NZ great Soparno opera stars. Malvina Majors. She was wonderful. We saw her in concert years ago in the gardens of Invercargill . She sang everything from "By The Light of the Silvery Moon to great opera Arias.
After the concert certain melodies kept playing inside my musical brain! I remember someone telling me that IF, you want to give a gift that will never end, GIVE THEM A MELODY... a SONG... It is so true.
When Malvina sang various things from yodeling to opera it flooded my mind with many memories and faces! From my Grandparents, Aunts, Radios, TV, Church, School and traveling... I have been given melodies that link me to a memory of wonderful people that loved me!
Chopin's Ballade in G minor fills my brains with magic... Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue... A certain person gave me the melody
"For Once In My Life"... There was a time when the Carpenter's hit: SOLITAIRE MAN drove me into deep depression!
What an amazing gift to give to some one that will haunt them the rest of their lives!
Vibrations. The beat does go on...
