你是藍的還是綠的?我是pink的
你是藍的還是綠的?我是pink的
網誌休市了好多天,
可不是跑去站台助選拉票瘋選舉,
小郎君結婚去了。
◆◆◆
我對政治一向低調冷感,
身邊朋友也鮮少知道我的『色彩』偏向,
大選前一天,也是結婚宴客的前兩天,
接到不少通兩邊支持朋友的電話拉票(error),ㄟ不是,是關心,
問我什麼顏色、會不會返鄉、會不會回去投票、會去投誰等嘰哩呱啦嘰哩呱啦嘰哩呱啦嘰哩呱啦
I say:我…我不藍不綠,我是Pink的,我會返鄉,我要回去結婚了…
友say:那…那你好好休息,你車慢慢開,恭喜恭喜……
結婚宴客選在總統大選的隔天,
還好大選的激情並沒有帶到隔天的婚宴。

待過合唱團的人,
對於John Rutter (1945- )一定不陌生;
《As the bridegroom to his chosen》
龜毛了許久,
最後選擇的婚禮入場音樂:
As the bridegroom to his chosen, as the king unto his realm,
As the keeper to the castle, as the pilot to the helm.
As the captain to his soldiers, as the shepherd to his lambs,
So, Lord, art thou to me.
As the fountain in the garden, as the candle in the dark,
As the treasure in the coffer, as the manna in the ark,
As the firelight in the winter,As the sunlight in the spring
So Lord art thou to me.
As the music at the banquet, as the stamp unto the seal,
As refreshment to the fainting, as the winecup at the meal,
As the singing on the feast day, as the amen to the prayer,
So Lord art thou to me.
As the ruby in the setting, as the honey in the comb
As the light within the lantern, as the father in the home,
As the eagle in the mountains, as the sparrow in the nest,
So Lord art thou to me.
As the sunshine in the heavens, as the image in the glass,
As the fruit unto the fig tree, as the dew unto the grass,
As the rainbow on the hilltop, as the river in the plain,
So Lord art thou to me.

小強與夏康
前晚,飢腸轆轆,路過一店家,買了份羊肉燴飯,欲裹腹。
即掀蓋,香氣熱霧撲面;但見飯團糾結未開,遂以箸和之;
倏忽間,竟驚見一史前小虫深埋飯中!
這不速之客,洋人稱之『卡克羅區』,吾輩則多以小強稱之。
陋室無旁人,心生衝動欲誦三字經;
惱怒間,已速將之移靈茅坑予以海葬。
及回神,始驚覺已鑄下大錯,
竟將己身從目擊者、受害者,轉為助之毀屍滅跡、掩蓋證據的幫兇。
雖怒啊~卻也笨啊!
小強已沖茅坑去,一去不復返;既已死無對證,無從質難店小二;
小強險些入我肚,飢轆間,滿腔忿恚只得肚裡吞。
那晚,我險些誤食小強;
那晚,我看見心中吶喊;

岩石上的牧羊女‧雲端上的愛梅林
根據北歐的傳說,天鵝在臨死前會以此生最優美的聲音啼唱,故西方人常把藝術家生前最後的作品稱為《天鵝之歌》。舒伯特 (Franz Schubert, 1797 - 1828)的歌曲集《天鵝之歌》是出版商將其遺稿中14首藝術歌曲集成冊,冠上以《天鵝之歌》的標題出版。不過,今天聽與談的,並不是這套“天鵝之歌”。

《岩石上的牧羊人》 (Der Hirt auf dem Felsen, D 965),歌詞採自繆勒(Wilhelm Müller, 1794 – 1827)的詩集《Der Berghirt》(The mountain shepherd),是舒伯特六百餘首藝術歌曲中,編號最後面的一首,作曲於舒伯特在世的最後一年1828年,一般被認為是舒伯特所作的最後一首藝術歌曲,可以算是他真正的“天鵝之歌”。 ...繼續閱讀
