Woke in time to watch an amazing sunrise. Colours moved from deep pink to orange to yellow as the sun rose on the horizon. It was lovely and very peaceful. Anyone who knows me will know that I generally choose sunsets over sunrises. I'm just not a morning person. Today my waking was unplanned. Once the spectacle was over, I headed back to bed for an hour or two. I did wake my friend so we could watch the sun rise together. Then, we both slept a while longer. During the day, we walked along the beach and visited an historical fort. I love history, so this one was interesting to do. The explanations of the fort and battles were well done.
While sitting and relaxing later in the day, we discussed music. I shared a song as an example of changing time signatures, tempos and melodies in that single complex song -- a conglomeration of three movements. I will share this song that was commissioned by the CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Corporation) for Canada's Centennial in 1967. It seemed in keeping with the theme of history threaded through the day. Keep safe. Enjoy!
Canadian Railroad Trilogy -- Gordon Lightfoot
