I wander o'er green hills thro' dreamy valleys,
And find a peace no other land could know.
I hear the birds make music fit for angels,
And watch the rivers laughing as they flow.
Here they are once again, Missy and Patsy, the Pelegrino Girls!
Hey...just so you know..this is the our first gig for our "Hey Patsy,I Gotta Feelin' We Ain't in Bayonne Anymore" tour. Our cousin Angie DiMaggio asked us to do this song, and we love this...Aunty Andrea forgot ...she's always forgettin' somethin' you know? Well this is a birthday present for a friend of ours...shoulda been done last week, but that's what we gotta deal with, huh?
so...for our good friend and Aunt who lives all the way over in Australia, Happy Birthday Aunt Alison Mary
Welcome to the First Annual February Music Motif Challenge. This year’s theme (and likely for years to come) is "I Enjoy Being a Girl." Variations on that theme might include any permutation thereof, including I enjoy being a close approximation of a girl, I enjoyed being a girl, but no longer, I am about to enjoy being a girl for the first time, and for all of you forced femme aficionados, I don't enjoy this at all, can I go now? Rather than award one single winner, owing to fairness, civility and an inability to get an auditor to certify our bogus results, we have given every entry its own unique award to recognize its ....uniqueness. Without further ado, we now present the Entrants, in no particular order other than from top to bottom, here are the "Winners" of the First Annual February Music Motif Challenge. Jill made me do it...honest...I didn't want to...okay...I did, but she was really mean...okay she was okay, but I thought she might be mean...never mind.
I've met some folks who say that I'm a dreamer
And I've no doubt there's truth in what they say
But sure a body's bound to be a dreamer
When all the things she loves are far away.
Stars fading, but I linger on, dear.
Still craving your kiss, I'm longing to linger till dawn, dear.
Just saying this: Sweet dreams till sunbeams find you.
Sweet dreams that leave all worries behind you.
But in your dreams whatever they be, dream a little dream of me.
I pray you'll be our eyes, and watch us where we go.
And help us to be wise in times when we don't know
Let this be our prayer, when we lose our way
Lead us to the place, guide us with your grace
To a place where we'll be safe
...Life sure seems like a race. With everything we've had to deal with this past year, it sure feels like I hit the wall. My tremors have increased since my anti-convulsive dose was lowered because my neurologist was worried about my blood pressure. So it's like I have to strike a balance. And the race analogy is actually quite accurate even if it is very annoying.
Once again, for your amusement, the comedic stylings of Roland and Dimaggio. This classic skit is taken from their long-running PBS-BBC joint production, Lost in Transition. Please enjoy and don't forget this week is pledge week. Roland and Dimaggio will be taking your phone calls as they sit for an interview with that internationally known star of stage, screen and television, Miss Susan Heywood.

“Procrastination is like masturbation, in the end you’re just screwing yourself.”
That anonymous quote sums up the world as we know it. We are a people who love to put off until tomorrow what we could easily do today, because there’s always something.
I saw this today in the paper... interesting to say the least. http://www.prodigalsonsfilm.com/drupal/index.php "Prodigal Sons is a remarkable study of family and identity, of what it means to love and be loved, of how much human dignity can be found in surprising places. It is made with elegance and passion and a searing honesty that can very nearly break one's heart."
She stares through my shadow
She sees something more
Believes there's a light in me
She is sure
And her truth makes me stronger
Does she realize
I awake every morning
With her strength by my side

Thanks to Jill for your help!
Un giorno sa, per noi verra
La liberta di amarci qui senza limiti
E fiorira il sogno a noi negato
Si svelera l'amor celato ormai
Un giorno sai, per vivere
La vita che ci sfugge qui
A time for us, some day there'll be
When chains are torn by courage born of a love that's free
A time when dreams so long denied can flourish
As we unveil the love we now must hide
A time for us, at last to see
A life worthwhile for you and me

There's this place in me where your finger prints still rest...
your kisses still linger and your whispers softly echo...
It's the place where a part of you will forever be a part of me.
