Your delightful images gave us new insights into the mysterious dreams of Nellie, our cherished elephant, and the wisdom of her eyes – sometimes playful and sometimes sad. <br /><br />RFB readers may not know that many of the Alice in Wonder Band songs were written especially for certain animals in Big Bed Land - like Zebra Weather, Gray Dog's Holiday, Go Lamb Rag and so on.<br /><br />Monster E. says to thank tony and Poetikat and willow and Karen - it is lovely and always surprising to her that people whose words she admires like songs that she wrote...it means a lot! <br /><br />Bink also wanted me to ask you, John-Johnny-Jack Monster, if you saw his reference to your insight on the Greek origins of the word “nostalgia” on Platypuss-in-Boots? He would like to give you credit for his growing understanding of that word. Also that you should feel free to comment on the intelligence he displayed in this reference by using it to explicate the haunting emotion of the final entry of Goat’s Pirate Log.Eberlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06523773865788173026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4821243838031243709.post-72274683504255963192010-02-10T14:06:43.946-08:002010-02-10T14:06:43.946-08:00Hi Tony, Kat, Willow & Karen
Tony: You're...Hi Tony, Kat, Willow & Karen<br /><br />Tony: You're welcome! & thanks--glad you enjoyed it.<br /><br />Kat: Interesting about the Charlie Brown thing--Eberle & I both like Vince Guaraldi's music, & we even thought seriously about arranging "Linus & Lucy" for the AIWB. I doubt there'll be a reunion. Geography stands in the way--of the five people in that song now live in four different towns as much as 60 miles apart.<br /><br />Willow: Thanks! I think there may be a current band (or bands) with that name in Europe. Eberle's piano playing is wonderful on this--the bassist did what he was supposed to do!<br /><br />Karen: Thank you!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15687192784861682991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4821243838031243709.post-33475486068011173502010-02-10T07:09:30.537-08:002010-02-10T07:09:30.537-08:00What gorgeous music!

Of course I am partial to the piano and bass in this piece.<br /><br />I love the name "Alice in Wonder Band", by the way.Tess Kincaidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04889725786678984293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4821243838031243709.post-72183571696164096382010-02-10T05:21:03.996-08:002010-02-10T05:21:03.996-08:00Oh, how beautiful!

I love Lois's voice too as it gives that wonderful ethereal quality to the piece. I was reminded of music that accompanies the Charlie Brown animations.<br />Really started my day off nicely with this. Thanks to the Alice in Wonder Band. (Any chance of a reunion?)<br /><br />KatKat Mortensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16877694888419628533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4821243838031243709.post-14297840047895325162010-02-10T04:47:29.425-08:002010-02-10T04:47:29.425-08:00Slow & dreamy and Very Very Good.Thank You .Slow & dreamy and Very Very Good.Thank You .tonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03746435400444226665noreply@blogger.com
