When I must use an alarm to wake up in the morning I like to select ‘wake to CD’. [I can’t stand that annoying beep-beep-beep-beep…]
Last night I changed the CD for the first time in quite awhile. No more Frank Sinatra and the Swinging Brass. [The brass don’t really get swingin’ till later in the CD, so it’s not as rude an awakening as it may seem.] Now it’s O’ Porto, by Madredeus. I forgot O’ Porto is a ‘live’ album, so the first thing I heard this morning was the rich applause of an anxious crowd, filled with excitement and anticipation. Somehow it was oddly invigorating.
It feels like, “Wow, I really must have slept well to deserve that! What’s next on my agenda!”
