NAMM 2015 MOBY Part 3 of 3 Interview by Mary Luehrsen, NAMM Foundation Music In The Spotlight

It is just a very tiny slice of Yes, but I was not expecting anything of the kind!
(Most of all, from Moby. The last person that I would suspect.)
 
Looking through the political threads, I started to list all of the times the Republicans betrayed the Democrats.

For some reason, the scene from Firefly, where the toy Tyrannosaurus attacks the toy Stegosaurus, popped into my consciousness.

(It has been a very long while, since I read what Byron posted about Firefly.)

When I re- watch Firefly, I will be wondering what he said about each episode, and I will watch the movie, again, also.

That scene with the toy Tyrannosaurus attacking the toy Stegosaurus is from the first episode, Serenity. We watched the movie together one day, but we never got around to watching the series, it was on the list. We both knew it fairly well, but we liked knowing things together too.

I couldn't have imagined someone like Byron, if I tried. He wasn't for everyone, but neither am I. He was unique, but we fit well with each other. We happily challenged and encouraged each other to be our best and be more.
 
*re-watching old Star Trek episode*

(I was thinking to myself, that the GB had lost its Captain Kirk, when we lost Byron. After that, the strange thought that William Shatner could have been the Captain, of the submarine, on the TV series Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea.)
 
Watching "The Saint" and that lead me to "UFO" TV series from the 1970s.
I never knew there was a connection between "Fringe" and "UFO."

Remakes! Who knew?

(UFO was on, in the background, while I did my high school homework,etc. I thought it was a strange soap opera, with extraterrestrials, at the time.)

Now, at least, I know where some of my ideas about extraterrestrials, came from.
Besides, all of the science fiction and fantasy that I have been reading since intermediate school.
 
Summer is planting a day long kiss on New England.
It drained all of Winter's cold that was stored in my flesh.
The cold that kept my Yankee spine stiff.
I drooped and drowsed under the sun,
while reading a tale published in Winter.
A tale of death, life, alliances and agreements.

Jane Hirshfield wrote this-

I Wanted Only A Little

I wanted, I thought, only a little,
two teaspoons of silence---
one for sugar,
one for stirring the wetness.

No.
I wanted a Cairo of silence,
a Kyoto.
In very hanging g garden
mosses and waters.

The directions of silence:
north, west, south, past, future.

It comes through any window
one inch open,
like rain driven sideways.

Grief shifts,
as a grazing horse does,
one leg to the other.


But a horse sleeping
sleeps with all legs locked.

Two pieces that always remind me of him on my playlist.

Esurientes - John Rutter

Because he's a modern composer and it's beautiful

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RlKNQBOeQqQ

Patrick Doyle from the soundtrack of Henry V, because he loved Shakespeare and his avatar was Kenneth Branagh - Non Nobis Domine

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=13FrLGB_oK8

I know he loves Metallica and that cracks me up, but I don't like them so much, though he once posted a Metallica rewritten for strings - do you know that one, Noor?

I was having a really tough time a few nights ago and I started hearing this
https://youtu.be/NQahov_Qk5o

He would play it for me sometimes when I was so sick last year, and would sometimes sing or hum it to me as I was falling asleep and he didn't think I could hear him.
He was sneaky that way, he would pretend I couldn't hear him and I wouldn't respond, but we both knew.
