Awesome videos, Terry - the first and last in particular! How that flashmob simply dissolved into the crowd after their incredible performance was something I found absolutely amazing - to leave such an impact on their audience yet leaving nothing of themselves behind.
I'm sorry for your loss. I often think about legacy and posterity and the things unique to me that are entirely the result of being my parents' child. I love the slot on Radio 4's 'Saturday Live' called 'Inheritance Tracks'. The guest talks about the song passed down to them by their parents, and what it means to them... and then about the song they would like to pass down to their children. Both songs, of course, are played. It shows how very evocative music can be: it's woven into our memories like aural wallpaper. There's a tune of which I'm particularly fond - it's called 'Popcorn' by Hot Butter, and it makes me - and will always make me - think of my brother, as we 'skated' to it on our brand-new polished cork tiled bedroom floor wearing knotted tea towels on our feet in order to buff up a shine, when we were very, very small.
Thanks for the map! I'm glad to see CityLit included on it - I shall laminate the map ready for my trip there in June. Please accept my apologies in advance for being late to class.... 😉
Thanks Rebecca. I think the coordination in those things it's mind blowing. Just think of the planning.
Thanks for your condolences. We were not close to the lady, but we liked her and her husband, so it's very sad.
I hadn't heard of Inheritance Tracks, it sounds like a lovely idea. I have always liked that Popcorn and too. I think it was b done with a synthesizer.
Wow, given that I get lost ALL THE TIME I could turn this suing lark into quite the money-spinner....! What a great wheeze - thanks for suggesting it! 😉
Juicehead! Ha ha ha I don't know why that word struck me so funny! But I have to say dancing around the kitchen this morning in my pink flannel pajamas to Puttin' on the Ritz was a terrific way to start my week! Thank you, Terry.
Haha, bringing back memories of Carling Black Label adverts and squirrel runs. I knew that it'd be the mission impossible music before I even clicked!
😂
Those videos were great! And thanks for the share Terry.
Thanks Tom. Pleasure

So what are you saying about my Knapp then? 😠
Terry, in my defence, the proof for the potential ineffectiveness of your map comes in your own words, which I quote as follows:
"Please do not use this map to guide you should you go into London."
bah! that's there to make sure people don't sue me when they get lost

🤣😂
The Herb Alpert video was da bomb. The dancing was beyond fantastic. Loved this post.
Thanks Mary. I thought the coordination was amazing!
Me, too! Also, the Mocha drawing is complete. It you're still interested, I'm happy to send it 😸
"Shape in a drape." Haha!
😂 great, isn't it? That is one of my favourites too!

😂 Thanks Sharron, glad you enjoyed it!
Johnny Sax sounds like the comic jazz musicians Sid Caesar once played on American television.
Really? I've heard the name but am unfamiliar with them. I will look them up on YouTube. Thanks!
Thank you Terry!
My pleasure, Susan!
Thanks for the wake up!
My pleasure!
