This is for a longtime friend here at WP who’s decided to give his blog a hiatus… [we hope 😉 ] but he knows better!
The friend I’m talking about is Frank [A Frank Angle]
I’m sure most of my friends know him already. For those who don’t though, he is having a Farewell Music Fest today, so I invite everyone to go visit and add their songs as a warm farewell.
from our colab “On Blue”
So, Frank, this is for you… something with a little bit of Greece in it 😉
This is lovely Marina. I think I originally met you through Frank! He has delivered a consistently refreshing blog and really tied his readers together into a community. I’m going to miss him. Thank you for this lovely musical tribute.
You introduced me to Frank A. He’s clearly a brave blogger of the first degree. I’ve already recorded So Long It’s been good to know ya, but will need to send something better. All the best to Frank!
Thanks for the reminder – I knew he was wrapping up his blog, but didn’t realize it was today. Been over there listening (and posting) for the farewell concert…
Dear, I hope is just for a short time… well thanks to Marina letting us know it is today the farewell.
I enjoyed the chosen of Vangelis’ song. Too many old memories for me as well…
And for you both, I bring this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YnxPuRPW8VU (since my daughter is a violin player)
That is pretty funny. Oh well, Vangelis didn’t work out with Yes, but Patrick Moraz did a great job… It was the album “Heaven and Hell” that I was thinking about where Jon first worked with Vangelis -a great album….
I remember that and yes, brilliant album! On the video, funny parts with bow and arrow and then when he first met the rest of the band [YES] …his remark on guitar to Steve! 😉 😂

Claudine,
Listening as I respond. Love beautiful music like this … thank you. Feel free to bring it over to submit on my side.
Not for a short time … but for good. After 11 1/2 years, I’m ready, but (especially for myself) I need to bring closure, so I have a series of events & posts. See here https://afrankangle.wordpress.com/2020/01/21/on-the-closing-ceremonies-the-schedule/

Thanks Dale. So far, my morning has been dealing with a string of unavailable or the click here to watch on YouTube that people don’t see.
