Also a few more live performances that other people have submitted to Youtube. [Not to be confused with a place in Derbyshire or other band of the same name]<br /><br />Malpas are based in Birmingham where I studied for a year in 1976/77 and danced to BoneyM! My friends and I went to a punk club which also played Daddy Cool [and disco tracks like Rose Royce's Car Wash etc] It wasn't all pogo-ing!! Is that high enough above the musical parapet?<br /><br />Hearing 'Baker Street' gives me goosebumps, taking me right back to living in London in Spring 1978.<br /><br />Now clog dancing Robinson would be the highlight of an AGM!Valhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17902562203759909923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7686549576418787314.post-17231378125646792022011-01-12T18:25:00.807+00:002011-01-12T18:25:00.807+00:00Hi Kev .... it's good to hear from you .... ...Hi Kev .... it's good to hear from you .... and well done for enlightening us.<br />I just love that sentence - i.e.<br />"Whether individual or shared, that which happens in silence may be the most precious moments of our lives." It's an acknowledgement of something we all experience, if we're lucky!Hildiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08859247954480595473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7686549576418787314.post-73984643620280701582011-01-12T15:21:53.731+00:002011-01-12T15:21:53.731+00:00This article (found by Google) may make the waters...This article (found by Google) may make the waters slightly clearer.<br /><br />The full poem by Djalal ad-Din Rumi is :<b><i><br /><br />There is some kiss we want with our whole lives, the touch of Spirit on the body.<br /><br />Seawater begs the pearl to break its shell. And the lily, how passionately it needs some wild darling!<br /><br />At night, I open the window and ask the moon to come and press its face against mine.<br /><br />Breathe into me.<br /><br />Close the language-door, and open the love-window.<br /><br />The moon won’t use the door, only the window.</i></b><br /><br />The explanation is provided by a lady psychotherapist - <br /><br />"As a psychotherapist who may have spent thousands of hours discussing the importance of communication with my clients, I am struck by Rumi’s reminder that there is a time for silent exchange as well. The “love-window” opens our hearts to the possibility of experiences which are beyond words. Whether individual or shared, that which happens in silence may be the most precious moments of our lives."<br /><br />As a lowly mathematician I must confess that this means little to me and the water is still as clear as mud.<br /><br />Belated 'Happy Birthday', Hildie<br /><br />Take care, all of you<br />KevKevhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03137745650763056257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7686549576418787314.post-62122237529116162392011-01-12T09:55:20.602+00:002011-01-12T09:55:20.602+00:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Hildiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08859247954480595473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7686549576418787314.post-92230993377325534532011-01-12T09:54:43.049+00:002011-01-12T09:54:43.049+00:00Morning ....and, I'd like to add ....
