Fred Rogers

Shortly before Christmas, I watched the documentary “Won’t You Be My Neighbor?” about the career and legacy of Fred Rogers.  He was an extraordinary individual with a beautiful outlook on life.  If you haven’t seen it yet, I highly recommend it.

“Often when you think you’re at the end of something,

you’re at the beginning of something else.”

Fred Rogers (b. March 20, 1928 – d. February 27, 2003)

Christmas Canon

Johann Pachelbel (b. 1653 – d. 1706)

Johann Pachelbel’s Canon in D is one of the most beautiful pieces ever written.  Little is known about the circumstances behind the composition.  Here, the Trans-Siberian Orchestra gives it a Christmas twist.

Merry Christmas

and

all the best to everyone in 2019!

I hope everyone takes a moment to observe a minute of silence at the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month (11:00 am, 11 November).
