Tony's stash of textual information

From my diary, 31st May 2021:

I'm really, seriously, deeply considering stopping my use of LinkedIn and Twitter.

Takumi Minami, Chief Executive Officer of Singapore Music Box Museum – that's right, a museum for the quaint music box – welcomed me warmly

No, my trip to the sea-shore

A poem, written after reading Loung Ung's memoir, which is titled: “First they killed my father”.

I chatted about ethics and technology, with Sebastian Müeller.

I remember, in the winter of the year 2013, in the city of Taipei, I was trying to sell a bicycle.

I want to hurry to witness the pastel colours of a (sky at the time of) sun-rise – it is now near the time in the early morning when the birds, somewhat near my bed, start chirping after their nocturnal silence – so I shall endeavour to be concise.

Reportedly, the text of a work by a Gottfried August Bürger appears in a work of the famous Ludwig van Beethoven, “Gegenliebe”, WoO. 118 no. 2 (1794-95). (according to a web-site, the Internet-address of which I provide later).

I don't know when I started noting the musical compositions that have been featured in what little I've read of the manga-series 'Nodame Cantabile',

I reproduce the text of three songs in the record 'Mi jardín solitario; Madrigal y cinco canciones sefardíes; Concierto de cienfuegos'. The texts are by Celedonio Romero (1913 – 1996), as translated into English by Susannah Howe.

First, the song 'Soledad!'

Let the horse run free, don't pull on his reins, for the day may come when you want him to run but can't

Don't let your heart be tainted by evil, and if love has gone... let it go, Soledad!

I won’t pretend I know what you have been through. I’m here to share what I have experienced, and the tools that have helped me cope,
