"It's a big exciting experience for my husband. I have to tell you, this is Mitt's vocation. I'm not even sure which day the election goes on. He'll get a chance to participate, I will not be voting in the event. I hope he does well."

Listening to "The Snow Goose" Retry

My last post had the wrong music attached.  Here it is again.  Kind of nice on a Saturday morning.  This music was inspired by the short story "The Snow Goose" by Paul Gallico and tells the story of a young girl (Fritha) who befriends a hunchback (Rhayader) who is a lighthouse keeper who finds a wounded snow goose in a marsh and nurses it back to health.  It has a tragic ending with Rhayader going across to Dunkirk to help evacuate the British army and the snow goose following.     Download now or listen on posterous The_Great_Marsh.mp3 (1631 KB)    Download now or listen on posterous camel_Fritha_alone.mp3 (1199 KB) Posted via email from Captain Richard's Posterous Blog
