Lost in Translation
Looking for meanings in words, images and sounds
A Word a Week Challenge: Music
While exploring Rome some months ago I stumbled upon an odd place situated in the park overlooking Piazza del Popolo. It was a sort of a tented restaurant with quaint charm to it, decorated with many not related artifacts and other decorative objects. There it was hanging against a window, an original Led Zeppelin guitar signed by the band members.
Please find attached their best known hit, and one of my favourite songs ever….

Nice find Paula, but I’m sorry to say I can not and will not listen to that song. It is one of the most overplayed songs on the radio. It is one of those good songs that I simply can’t stand hearing because it is played so often. I can’t change the radio station fast enough whenever it comes on. 😀

Can’t please everybody, Paula. I love it!
Not so classy but I used to like going to Hard Rock Cafes with my son, not so much to eat as to see what was hanging on the walls. (or ceiling)

Please don’t let this ruin your fun.. I almost went through a gyneco check for fighting with a nasty German security officer and I only fought cause our connecting flight to Italy was delayed and we almost missed the whole thing… Long story short, I have never run that hard in years on never ending Munich airport terminals.
