Once

Once upon a time (last weekend) I saw an R rated movie. It was called Once. It was only rated "R" because of some language, mostly at the beginning of the movie. Now, I am not an advocate of foul language, but this movie was amazing. Incredible music. If you are a Cat Stevens fan (before he became Yusef Islam), you will really love Glen Hansard's vocals. Set in Dublin, Ireland, it is the story of how a young pianist meets this street guitarist/Hoover vacuum fixer.

We bought the soundtrack this week, and are not disappointed. The young girl in the film, Marketa Irglova is Czech and reminds me a lot of our exchange student Inga from Moldova. Marketa has an incredible voice as well, and she and Glen blend beautifully together with their voices, guitar and keyboard.

It's a beautiful day outside, so I should leave the keyboard and go out and enjoy it. Summer is fleeting--so I'll have to grab these great temps while there's still time!

Till next time,
