He's one of my favourite human beings.<br />Did you know that he was sacked by the church for selling church artefacts and giving the proceeds to the poverty stricken Belgian miners when he was a trainee priest. A very Christian man (in the true sense) he was. 'Germinal', a novel by Emile Zola highlights the plight of these poor people whom Vincent tried to help.Gwil Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03305768121713053837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1259513454241506815.post-16875626357277783612010-06-08T16:40:52.312-07:002010-06-08T16:40:52.312-07:00Thank you Cait, this is such a beautiful song and ...Thank you Cait, this is such a beautiful song and one of my all time favourites.<br /><br />Love your Header of Van Gogh, Cait.<br /><br />xxCAMILLAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04741990891794651299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1259513454241506815.post-47799390029823380132010-06-06T16:03:27.182-07:002010-06-06T16:03:27.182-07:00Just happened upon your blog and will have to go b...Just happened upon your blog and will have to go back and see the other songs you've chosen.

Dedicated reader that I am, I would love to hear more about your doings in the library.<br /><br />This song challenge of yours has been a very good way to draw forth favorite tunes from folks from all over.<br /><br />I must share this little story with you. The shop plays music all day. We have no control over this music. It is sent to all the shops within the company from HQ. A new CD compilation arrives about once a month. These CD compilations are in compliance with ASCAP and other copywrite regs.<br /><br />Sometimes the music is surprisingly wonderful. Often that is not the case.<br /><br />Recently, a tune was playing that I actually liked, and I knew who was singing, Leonard Cohen.<br /><br />There were no customers in the shop. One of my staffers made some comment about the song. I asked, do you not know Leonard Cohen. Cait ... not one of the other three staffer then working had any idea who Leonard Cohen might be.<br /><br />Again, I thank you for this A to Z.<br /><br />(Forgot while you were back at S, to thank you for avoiding Staircase to you know where.) xoFranceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08352407314710067616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1259513454241506815.post-82304627892469743262010-06-05T14:34:52.147-07:002010-06-05T14:34:52.147-07:00One of the most beautiful songs.One of the most beautiful songs.Pamela Terry and Edwardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12746603636884819522noreply@blogger.com
