In the movie Time Regained there is a scene of a French salon--social gathering--where a piano/violin piece is played, perhaps a Cesar Frank or Faure composition. When Mr. TLEDDY has the performers over to his house I hope it has all the splendor as that depicted in the movie.
Sorry for the delayed reply!
I refer to our home as “Muse d’Alice” due to the extensive collection of art herein. Alice, my wife and partner for 33 years, has a Degree in Art History, with studies at King’s College in London and has worked in museums as a curator and exhibit manager. We do not have highly valuable pieces, none over a few thousand dollars - collected long ago and appreciated in value. My own collection of rather nice hi-fi equipment and, now rather obsolete, vinyl and silver disc media is my contribution.
I met her on my 50th birthday at a watering-hole/restaurant in West Palm Beach, Florida. I was somewhat tipsy at the time…I saw her in a banquette with three of her friends - a vision of loveliness! I meandered my way over; her friends, who happened to know my reputation as a rake, formed a phalanx to keep me away! Happily without success! They cautioned her that our relationship would never last; now, after thirty three years, we have proved them wrong!
To my friends on ASR, sadly unmet, I wish you all the happiness Alice and I have enjoyed in our lives!
”Live long and prosper!”
