Very calming. Loved it. 
You got me thinking about soothing film music - and this sprang into my head. As well as being the soundtrack to my youth, it was used in, (probably), the greatest ever horror movie. For such a peaceful piece of music, it works incredibly well.

I know that song from Bassie & Adriaan, a Dutch tv program that entertained generations of kids 
It's about a clown and an acrobat (from the circus) who are after the evil baron.
I never really understood what made the baron evil, but he was always pretty mad and he had a henchman who secretly followed Basse & Adriaan and a henchman who was always making explosives (and blowing up himself and the baron).
Anyway, whenever the baddies chased after Bassie & Adriaan it played Tubular Bells 
Have you ever listened to the entire song?
It's over forty minutes split over two halves of an LP and it's not particularly soothing.
Some parts are even quite stressing

Many times. Mostly just Side 1 though. As well as on digital, I still have my original vinyl copy - but, sadly, no deck to play it on!

I have the Orchestral Tubular Bells on vinyl, but I must confess I listened to it maybe once or twice

Somehow I never considered Simon & Garfunkel as rock & roll
Great music though.

Pop? That's my best guess, but in a way they did define the generation of Rock and Roll, as they were one of the greatest selling groups of that time. Maybe that is why they were included in the concert.

I think he's an idiot, but I wouldn't wish that on anyone.
I'm sure he'll pull through - he'll have the best care money can buy after all.
But you have to wonder just how many others he has infected recently ...

On a slightly different note, how are your toes doing?

My toes are fine - Herself got Covid Toe (and lung damage which means she's on Ventolin at the moment while we wait for the result of a CAT scan she had on Tuesday), we both got Covid Hair, and I managed to end up with mild Covid Eye and Covid Ear. Stamina is still a problem, but I'm reasonably sedentary at the best of times anyway! My taste buds haven't fully recovered but they are getting better.

It's fairly stupid - we had this back at the start of May, and it's October already! It just runs through the system like a wayward teenager getting drunk and breaking anything he can touch ...

Sounds like you got every side effect in the book. Take care.
Oddly enough, you're the only one I know about that has had it.

I couldn't agree with you more. After all my sisters ex husband in Wales died of it and my niece and nephew couldn't attend the the funeral because of the lockdowns at the time.
But just could help myself

Ah, then apparently, deep idiots catch it as well. Another breakthrough in the study of the disease (and for those wondering, yes, you need it happen twice for a fact to be scientifically confirmed - Boris Johnson was the first).

Nah, I reckon it's a scam. He's just trying to get the election put back.

Does this mean that the remaining Presidential Debates are not going to happen?

With any luck yes. Although it's a bit of a stretch to call the first one a debate!
