Spanish Guitar




It's late at night and I've just finished an incredibly long week at work, reading dozens of proposals and edits into the wee hours of each morning. So, how to unwind from all the stress in order to get some sleep? Music is my elixir, easing me into a serene and peaceful state of mind, washing away the stress and chaos of the day. So much to choose from, but tonight I am in the mood for some classical guitar, otherwise known as Spanish Guitar.

The following selection is Recuerdos de la Alhambra, written by F. Tárrega, and performed by Enno Voorhorst. Now for some reason unknown to me, he decided to perform it outdoors in a snow-blanketed garden. While I have no idea why he would want to do that, after listening to the recording I am entirely grateful he did, whatever the reason. Beautiful. Hypnotic. Soothing.



Well now it's time to head off to sleep. Sweet dreams everyone.

I missed this...and the other one? Where WAS I?

You are right, music does tame us, and give us rest in our soul.

You ask how you could possibly have missed this? Tide, with all you do on a daily basis, it's a miracle you have any energy left to stumble upon stuff like this. No worries at all. Feel free to pop in whenever you can, with no purpose other than to relax. Heck, reading my stuff has been known to put people to sleep even...
