Anglican Curmudgeon: A Musical Break in Dispiriti...<br />Anglican Curmudgeon: A Musical Break in Dispiriting Times<br /><br />Numerous relevant not-too-depressing Cello solos. Excellent for the ears and soul.<br /><br />http://innertime.blogspot.com/2010/01/les-larmes-de-jacqueline.html <br /><br />please notice and respect the copyright of Mr. Haley, the Anglican Curmudgeon, whose short story surrounds several excellent<br />selections that actually will bring The Calm.<br /><br />It will be necessary for the OROGs to scroll down through the story to arrive at the videos of the Cello pieces<br />MORE THAN WORTH THE EFFORT,<br />BOTH THE MUSIC AND THE SHORT STORY!<br /><br /> El Gringo Viejo<br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br />A bit of an interlude. Our nation is fraying. Even El Gringo Viejo seeks refuge in the nearly childish notion of sealing off the Republic of Texas from the degeneracy and totalitarianism offered to people who will trade their liberty for security, and who therefore deserve neither. A place to hide for El Gringo Viejo and The Boss is in worthwhile labour, baseball, in music, in gardening, in sewing and baking goodies for the granddaughters and the few friends that are left, and finally fixing the treadle sewing machine, in cleaning the old rifle and replacing that weak spring, thinking about friends, dealing with the guilt of not having been one of the dead ones coming back from the wars...or at least wounded.<br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br />Let us await the Will of the Great Cosmic Force whose daughter has spoken to children from Lourdes to Fatima and to an Indian in Tepeyac. Almighty Father, grant me the power to change the things that must be changed and to accept such things that must remain, and further grant me the Wisdom to know the difference. Amen.<br /><br /> A bit of an interlude. Our nation is fraying.
