Rest in Peace: Effie Teague (1912 - 2008)

My grandmother passed away Tuesday evening 9/23 at 8:25pm. Aged 96 years, 2 months, 16 days. What a full and wonderful life she had. We all should hope for so much for ourselves. Her life stands as a living proof that hard work is rewarded and that love conquers all.

Thanks so much to all of you for your kind words. My family and I are truly saddened at our loss, but yet we cannot help but celebrate that she is now free of the bonds of this mortal coil; its frailties and pains. And that she stands again with the man she loved now and forever.

 

My grandmother, Effie Teague.

I can't get the Swedish Chef theme song out of my head! So I decided to share it with you so you can walk around all day saying "BORK BORK BORK!" under your breath. LOL

Animusic!

One of my young friends from karate recently added a video from Animusic to his profile on Facebook. Seeing it again just brought back my memories of enjoying seeing it for the first time, and being absolutely spellbound by the beauty of the music itself, and the mind-bending intricacy of the imaginary instruments that were created to bring it to life. Its a real labor of love with a fascinating story behind that I would recommend to anyone of any age.

Finally, and most importantly: a clip from YouTube of what is undoubtedly the most famous composition from Animusic. Its called Pipe Dream and I hope you enjoy it!

Till next time, keep it intelligent...
