- Don’t let society convince you that’s what it means for a person who has been through it and has had a bad day or a terrible week or a lot more to deal with and it’s just not the way it is in my life right here in my head.

- #Philately #StampCollecting Another in series of #DesignErrorsOnStamps Can you spot the error the stamp artist made in the design of one of these stamps? United States, Scott Nr 1912-1919 (1981) The answer will be left within a comment by me, later.
- Okay, it's late enough.😄 In the first stamp, showing the man on the moon, there is only one planet that is capable of being seen "planet-sized" from the moon's surface. Every other planet still appears star-sized, as on Earth.
- #27 of some favorite #music #TedTalksMusic A fun one by the #McGuireSisters doing a vocal version of the opening theme to the film Man With the Golden Arm. I got a kick out of it as a young kid, as I was living in Biloxi. Scroll down the comments a bit for the lyrics www.youtube.com/watch?v=mgDt...
- #26 of some favorite #music #TedTalksMusic Formed in 1962, like the Rolling Stones, Omega, from #Hungary, equals their record as the longest continually active rock group, albeit with some turnover in the members. Albums were re-recorded in English for wider appeal. www.youtube.com/watch?v=pSjq...

- #25 of some favorite #music #TedTalksMusic These musicians met while attending Cologne Music Academy and formed a band in 2009. This song is from their 2015 album Strange Delight. Note: the Intro, such as it is, is 3 minutes long, then the tempo picks up quite a bit. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lu0r...
- #24 of some favorite #music #TedTalksMusic #LittleFeat Little Feat: Representing the Mambo youtu.be/CbD9tP5glQY?...
- #Philately #StampCollecting After #WWI #Latvia declared its independence. A shortage of paper led to using old German #military #maps (blank on the backside) on which to print their postage stamps. This is a block of 16 stamps of Scott Catalogue Nr 1.

- #23 - some favorite #music #TedTalksMusic With the drummer the only original (1970) member, #ProgRock group #PFM continues to play today. Photos of Ghosts and The World Became the World were my intro to PFM in 1974. Il Banchetto, from PoG, is sung in Italian. www.youtube.com/watch?v=9hmB...
- #Philately #StampCollecting #MusicOnStamps #ClassicalMusicOnStamps Playing off my music post, again, here is a stamp issued for the birth centenary of composer #CarlOrff. The stamp includes the opening notes of O Fortuna. Carl Orff (1895-1982). Germany, Scott Catalogue #1901 (1995)
- #22 - some favorite #music #TedTalksMusic For my money, this is the most exciting, bombastic, and theatrical recording of this piece (not just O Fortuna, but the complete Carmina Burana). Carl Orff: O Fortuna. Cleveland Orch/Michael Tilson-Thomas, cond. youtu.be/PIcgUSJiEQQ?...

SINGLE. DAY. Nearly a year's worth of entries to enjoy. bittergrounds.com/this-day-in-... #Stamps #philately #writing
- #Philately #StampCollecting #MusicOnStamps From 2007, one of an ongoing series of stamps from Great Britain depicting #ClassicRock album covers, this one reproduces 6 #Beatles album covers. Meet the Beatles, Sgt Pepper: Scott Cat. #2421-22 Help, Abbey Road #2423-24 Revolver, Let It Be #2425-26
- #21 - some favorite #music #TedTalksMusic Another #ChicagoTheBand number played by #LeonidAndFriends. That vocal entrance is incredible. Chicago: Free (Leonid & Friends) youtu.be/njZHiCdVQN8?...
- #20 - some favorite #music #TedTalksMusic #Evita #Che #Argentina As mentioned in my stamp post, #EvaPeron and #CheGuevara never met in real life, unlike the depiction in the musical. #MandyPatinkin does a bang-up job in this number. And the Money Kept Rolling In (and Out) youtu.be/iIPDLC8QNGo?...
- #Philately #StampCollecting Unlike as depicted in the musical, apart from #Che Guevara being born in Argentina, there is nothing that ties him to #Evita. The two had differing political views and they never met each other. Eva Peron, #Argentina, Scott #609 (1952) Che Guevara, Cuba #4165 (2001)

- #19 - some favorite #music #TedTalksMusic These aren't the names that come to mind when most people think of great Mahler discs. But that says more about those listeners than it does about #RicardoMuti and the #PhiladelphiaOrchestra in this #Mahler Symphony #1 "Titan." youtu.be/FI_3BX_tXA4?...
- #Philately #StampCollecting #China #Bats In #Chinese culture, the character 福 or “fú” is symbolic of good luck and joy, and the word for bat is 蝠 and is also pronounced “fú” – thus bats are symbolic of good luck and joy. Enjoy these good luck bats.
