Celebrating Frank Loesser
The songwriter, lyricist, and compose Frank Loesser was born today in 1910. One of the musicals he's most famous for is called Guys and Dolls. There's a song called "If I Were A Bell" in this musical and I like it because the woman who sings it is just so happy to be in love and to be alive. It always makes me feel good when I hear it. Wherever you are reading this, I hope there is a lot of love and happiness in your life. I send everyone best wishes and much love now and always.

Some irregular music
I was just thinking about the song Take 5 by Paul Desmond because it's famous for being irregular as a lot of jazz standard songs are written in 4/4 time but Take 5 is written in 5/4 time. I like the song because it makes me think of how it can be fun to step out of line and show how you are unique. Wherever you're reading this, I hope you have many occasions in your life to express yourself in unique ways and that you have many unique moments in your life that you enjoy. I send everyone best wishes and much love now and always.
