    I LOVE LUJON -- it takes me far away, like I'm alone with my dog, on the beach, watching all the waves come in at 3:10 which I've done so often -- I miss the ocean, I'm in the beautiful mountains now and it will snow soon and I love the quiet of the snow, two totally different elements of nature, both soothing!

  • @udui1o173

    This is the song "Slow hot wind" from the movie "Hatari" with John Wayne. The master Henry Mancini created this. I first heard this song when I was a kid growing up in the 60's. My Mom surely had good taste in music. I must say Dan Fontaine & his orchestra have elevated this classic to another level. The strings represented the wind & the xylophone the mystery of Africa while on safari. The musicians here performing their art have truly captivated their talent & artistry to their craft I commend all of them. Sarah Vaughan & Sergio Mendes & Brazil 66 sang an excellent version of the vocals. My heart is soaring now..........

Sitting with your lady, sipping Pina caladas. There was a scene just like that on Stingray when I was a kid, with Troy Tempest wooing the commanders daughter, with similar music
