I don't know anyone else who can state that. Bruce Springsteen....I was a very latecoming fan...but he bowled me over with Devils and Dust. I know I'll never grow tired of it. NOW?

His music stands the test of time. <BR/><BR/>Growing up on the east coast, Billy Joel and Bruce Springsteen feel like a part of my family. Bruce live is a transcendent goosebump inducing event.

And I've listened out the hurt and pain on a *whole* bunch of songs, before and since:-) I have a visceral reaction to music: the last track "Do you hear the people sing" on Les Miserables was a sure trigger for about a week -- I'd bawl, for no apparent reason!<BR/><BR/>The version of Wonderful World was from a kids cd we have (it may be "for the kids" or something like that: it has well known singers doing popular or other songs for kids): she sings it very straight, very clean, very meaningful in spite of that.<BR/><BR/>Between you and Carmi, you account for about half of my visits today!BreadBoxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14551973313066578118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17192698.post-12666200469246694022007-08-11T01:28:00.000-03:002007-08-11T01:28:00.000-03:00I have just cried and smiled at this post and read...I have just cried and smiled at this post and reading your previous posts trying to catch up.

I played it from 1:30 in the morning: play, rewind, play, rewind,.. until the day broke with my heart.<BR/>Many years later, LOML and I played Nessun Dorma at our wedding, along with an obscure recording of "What a Wonderful World" (most definitely, at LOML's insistence, not the Louis Armstrong version) and the theme song for Prairie Home Companion (for which we got permission from Garrison Keillor's folks) amongst others...<BR/><BR/>N.BreadBoxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14551973313066578118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17192698.post-11325821430987788982007-08-11T00:31:00.000-03:002007-08-11T00:31:00.000-03:00Thanks for the walk down memory lane with music! ...Thanks for the walk down memory lane with music!
