Coincidences exist or not - opinions are divided on this subject. Maybe everything happens for a reason or there are some other laws, invisible at first sight, that move all the marionettes who walk on this planet. Maybe we just pay attention more to the things that we already read or heard so the next time we connect it with the already familiar concept. It could happen that we just want to see the similarities or some connections even if they are not based on rational thinking, who knows? Mysteries of life.
Anyway, here comes music and a connection, or coincidence that my son and I recognized yesterday. He was in the school, already feeling not very well. Nothing serious but the typical runny nose and sore throat thing... He skipped the last lesson which was not important so I went to pick him up and then, while driving home that musical connection was served to us through the radio station we were listening to. {The National radio station which broadcasts classical music.}
The radio announcers talked about a few writers and their writing habits. Of course, their love for typewriters too. After the little talk, they played one very famous piece by Leroy Anderson, called Typewriter. You can listen to it here. The soloist is a person who plays this peculiar instrument - the typewriter š. It is a funny video, you will enjoy it.
We enjoyed it too while we were heading home, especially because just the day before yesterday my son had a concert with the orchestra where they performed one piece by the same composer, Leroy Anderson. What a coincidence! Or fate haha. Though it was a different piece, titled Sandpaper.
It was the last composition in the concert to bring more fun after the serious music they played.
Four students were dressed in white T-shirts, they represented the bricklayers. They came to the scene with tools, some paintbrushes, one bucket of paint (obviously an empty bucket), sandpaper, etc. Those were their musical instruments!
Did they forget at home their real musical instruments so had to improvise...? š¤ š
It was a fun piece and the whole concert was very nice and successful! Students from a few music conservatories had rehearsals from Friday to Sunday, and Saturday was especially intensive - from early morning until late in the evening. There they had a little break for lunch and to play football... and it was then that my son felt he would get a cold.
His cold made him feel sick, call me to pick him up and listen to a piece by Leroy Andrson on the radio. The circle is closed. š
I hope you can also connect now through this musical piece, Sandpaper and enjoy it as we did. š¶
