ARTHUR'S THEME (Between the Moon
and New York City)





avoid focus on any particular version
tryin' to feel the songs as archetypes

as first heard on "Portrait in Music"
and many represented in "Magic Moments" collection

Star Wars Plastic Figures I Was Most Fascinated By


concerning mainly the CGR Toys developed during early 80's
among the ones I had or friends had, some of which we switched

an attempt to re-evaluate my psychological preferences
where both scary and cute traits gave high appreciation
as well as mysterious features

just how it felt to watch and hold and play with these plastic figures
(not directly considering the movie characters behind them, which anyway I was mostly unaware of then in real time
and ain't counting bigger machines, ships aso)

APRIL

with Deep Purple
long instrumental episode from Deep Purple -69

based on music hall elements
