Louis Vierne was the organist at the Notre Dame cathedral from 1900 to 1937. He also composed some music.

Here is his "Carillon de Westminster" composed in 1927 played on the Notre Dame organ before the fire.

An unusual planet discovered where the skies at night would look much the same as during the day.
The planet is called COCONUTS-2b

It's an acronym for the type of equipment used to view..
At 320 degrees F, I can't see anyone wanting to travel there any time soon

Good evening all

Weather was dull and cloudy until mid afternoon when the sun appeared.

Not sure how you’d decide which famous person’s face  you’d want on your cookie. Would you want to eat someone you like, or choose someone you didn’t like?
Hope everyone has had a good day.

Goodnight and sweet dreams, El and Ros

Hug for Moonie and night owl hug for Velvet if he is around later

Watched "Fallen Angel" (1945) last evening which I had recorded some time ago. A film noir directed by Otto Preminger following his better known film "Laura" (1944) with the same lead actor Dana Andrews. A watchable film but not regarded as a classic in the way "Laura" is.
The lead actress of "Fallen Angel" Alice Faye left the studio Twentieth Century Fox as she felt that her best scenes had been edited out. The result was that she didn't appear in another film until 1962.

When I saw mention of a Middlesex batsman by the name of Stevie Eskinazi I was reminded of the pianist/conductor Vladimir Ashkernazy. One of his performances from 1972. Clip can't be embedded so link to it instead.

Beethoven's Pathétique (pathos or emotional, not pathetic).
My father did play this from time to time but from a score.

I can't imagine remembering all the notes to play on such a long & complicated piece of music.
Well done to anyone who can

It's down to hours and hours and days and days and weeks and weeks and months and months and years and years of practice. Musicians have different techniques to memorise music but it's mainly practice. There are some though who are born with the ability to be able to memorise a piece of music after hearing it once but that's rare.

Evening all.

A dry and bright day.

El, I love the story of the meadow and the horses brought in to harvest it.

Moonie, hope you are back with us soon.

I hope everyone has had a good day.
