Good morning music

Helen often wakes up to the alarm playing the soundtrack CD from Sophie’s Choice. It’s nice, gentle, a little wistful.

Anyway, when she wasn’t looking, I cranked up iTunes, copied the CD, and made a new one with the first song the same as always (to give her that sense of familiarity), but the second song was [this annoying little tune][1] from an [old Sherlock Holmes movie][2]. I warn you, if you listen, it will stubbornly lodge itself in your head. Even singing it like Bob Dylan won’t get it out.

Christmas treat

Here’s #3 on Christmas morning a couple of years ago. It’s a [QuickTime][3] video and you can download a [large file][1] or [small file][2], depending on how fast your internet connection is. “Goodness goodness gracious!”
