I think her rendition is special and very loving. Those of us who love trains feel the same sadness at their decline. <br /><br />Fireblossom~ <em>Outsized, fabulously colored souls</em>...Your new scientific fact is glorious. It describes Dr. C (and you, I might add).<br /><br />ds~ Your comment brought tears. It was my pleasure to share him, and is someone I have wanted to write about for a long time. I would love to plan for my husband and me to head up to Reno next year for that 50th Reno Jazz Festival. He took our class to one of the afternoon productions and I can still see him just behind the side stage curtain, in his own sort of movement euphoria in response to the music being played.<br /><br />Claudia~ I owe you such a thank you for the prompt with your wonderful video (you have a beautiful voice and the most loving smile), because it got me to finally write about Dr. C. He deserved so much more of a poem than this one but it was cathartic for me...and possibly in some cosmic way he knows how much I admired him now. Many, many thanks to you.<br /><br />Pixies~ Oh, thank you for mentioning the art work. It took me so long to find the right image to represent Dr. C. When I saw this one I had an !Aha! moment and you did too so that is great.<br /><em>Love</em> your quote!Lydiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11135393270656573516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4039445774186145767.post-88905318379152520642011-09-20T00:36:23.497-07:002011-09-20T00:36:23.497-07:00yes indeed - a great tribute.

Obviously someone...What a beautiful tribute, Lydia. Obviously someone who made a "grade A" impression on you.<br />And I took time to listen to Claudia. "The City of New Orleans" is a sad, strong song that I've known (and sung) for years. In an era when train travel is withering (at least here in Canada), it's nice to know that some things survive. Even if CN owns it.Rob-bearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00171692478879522588noreply@blogger.com
