Explored! Thank you very much :-) SATURDAY SELF-CHALLENGE 6 JULY 2019 TAKE A PHOTO OF ANYTHING THAT FLIES OF FLOATS IN THE AIR It is now getting on for 10 p.m here in Aylesbury and I was about to admit defeat and say that I didn't have anything for this week's Saturday Self-Challlenge :-( Then, I saw the upload from Heidiho and I could not believe that I have a similar shot, taken in Oxford on Thursday :-))))) Thank you, Heidiho for the inspiration :-))))) And, for 'Sight and Sound' I have chosen "Rainy Days and Mondays" because you sometimes you need an umbrella when it rains :-) The song was written by Paul Williams and Roger Nichols and I have chosen the original version by Paul Williams. Paul is one of my all-time musical heroes. Paul and Roger also wrote "We've Only Just Begun" amongst other classic titles.

"We've Only Just Begun" was written by Roger Nichols (music) and Paul Williams (lyrics). It is frequently used as a wedding song. The song was originally recorded by Smokey Roberds, a friend of Nichols, under the name "Freddie Allen". It debuted in a wedding-themed television commercial for the Crocker National Bank in California in the winter of 1970 with Paul Williams on vocals. Richard Carpenter saw the commercial and the rest is magnificent history. Back in April 2015 Helen and I went to Jonathan & Helen's {a different Helen :-)} wedding. I took a few candid shots and I was pleased with this one. Therefore, I am linking this to the original version by Paul Williams from his absolute classic 1971 album “Just An Old Fashioned Love Song”. I still have the vinyl copy :-))) Sorry, it's NOT for sale :-)) Added to ~ Sight and Sound Listen here ♫ ♪ ♪ ♫ ~ We've Only Just Begun ~ Paul Williams If you have an hour and a half to spare I would well recommend watching the film by Stephen Kessler ~ “Paul Williams Still Alive”. It has been on YouTube but disappears from time to time. No doubt, there are copyright issues. But, today, I have found it again on YouTube :-) www.youtube.com/watch?v=j6XxxQonbD8 And, not forgetting ♪ ♪ ♫ ~ The Carpenters version :-)
