@tansleyjames.bsky.social thank you for hosting, been enjoying this so much. If I had more time, I'd continue with another hundred π
Discovered many string and brass parts in songs I love, and probably because of those parts, they became the ones I love.

I'll never forget that early morning either, with quite the same feelings.
(The video filmed a few km from my home.)
Four years ago, in the early hours of the morning driving back to my apartment.
