Today’s musical selection is ‘Lover’s Concerto‘ by The Toys. It was the number one hit this day in 1965 (according to Cashbox). The song was written by Sandy Linzer and Denny Randell who cleverly copied the melody from Minuet in G Minor written by Christian Petzold in 1725. Enjoy!
And now compare…
Happy Monday!
Today is the birthday (30 October, 1839) a British impressionist painter who spent most of his career in France. He focused almost exclusively on painting landscapes en plein air and never really deviated from impressionism. He lived mostly off the sale of his paintings and, as they were not popular at the time, he lived mostly in poverty, dying in 1899.
I think his paintings are a bit subdued, but I like them. This one, The Meadow, hangs in the National Gallery of Art. Go see it next time you’re in DC.
These are all by motion artist Daria Khoroshavina. You can find more HERE.
And a Happy Friday to everyone!
