Or an older version: Wondrous Machine Purcell - YouTube[^]
A paean to the pipe organ, for St. Cecelia's Day.
I wanted one of those steam engines as a kid (Sears catalog), but they were apparently too expensive at the time.

Considered purely as music, that is a beautiful version - and there are several other beautiful versions at YouTube. But nothing makes me associate to machines in any of those performances. In these beautifully sounding versions, the lute comes through strong and clear...
The L'Arpeggiata / Vincenzo Capezzuto version, especiall when played at a high sound level, is the only one I know of where I can hear those machine noises to which "the warbling lute, though used to conquest, must be forced to yield, with thee unable to dispute".
Another thing is that I love the voice of Vincezo Capezzuto, and the musical arrangements of L'Arpeggiata. For another Purcell song, try Twas within a furlong - (Henry Purcell) - L‘Arpeggiata Christina Pluhar - YouTube[^].

I live in the southeast of the US and I see lots of married couples that do not have wedding rings, but rather something that looks like it came out of a cereal box. When did plastic rings become a thing for marriages?
I have never understood people going in to debt for a wedding ring but this seems a bit overkill. What's going on? I'm tempted to get married again so I can figure out what they are all about.
Is this happening in other countries?

Here's the other side of the seventies: Gasolin' This Is My Life 1978 - YouTube[^]
I would've posted a RIP for Kim Larsen a week ago if I thought anyone besides me an Johnny cared.
His music was a part of my childhood.

OH! Don't forget SoMad! He ought to care as well!
Of course, Bono had no idea who Kim Larsen was, he was just trying to score cheap points...

Oh, forgot about SoMad.
Haven't seen him for quite a while actually, wonder what he's up to?

A friend of mine bought wedding rings at a total $80 US, about 12 year's ago.
I told him he was an idiot and I wished his marriage would last more than 5 years. He started cheating on his wife after 3 years. I haven't talked to him since.
Is there a correlation between what you put into a wedding ring and a happy marriage? Probably not, but who the hell buys his wife a $40 dollar ring, and what kind of bride says that is Ok?

Doing a little google search, I think they might be silicone.
