Messages from Big Island, Hawaii, in Japanese and English
I listen to all kinds of music when driving. I download my favorite music in my smartphone and listen through the car stereo.
When the music below comes out from the stereo and sounds in my car, I get embraced by some very deep feelings and moved to tears, which was not safe during driving! I should not drive with my teary eyes! https://youtu.be/SrMftm6Km3g This is an amazing music played with enthusiastic conducting, beautiful faces and voices! I practice singing at home. One of my repertoire was “Star-Spangled Banner”. I was often blasting at home. One day I joined a Zoom rehearsal by Director Susie of Kona Choral Society. I am not a “Zoom person”, and did not participate in the zoom rehearsal for a while, but this one was a special version for July 4th. I joined. I was overwhelmed. Susie let us sing so many patriotic songs including the military songs with explanation about those music. I was fascinated. I did not know much about “God Bless the U.S.A.” or “America The Beautiful” (which is one of my repertoire!) until that day. I was thrilled to know there are so many beautiful and uplifting patriotic music in this country. I love this country and care about the future of this county as well as the future of the whole world. Those music reminds me of various special feelings. Comments are closed.
