I love Don MacLean! I think he was vastly underrated as a song writer and as a performer. Yes, he is known for American Pie, but he did so many other great songs. Stary, Stary Night was just one of them - and if you are familiar with the van Gogh painting, MacLean is "painting" a beautiful song picture of it as well as capturing the essence of van Gogh and his life.
Thanks for sharing that, Joel!
Thank you so very much, Joel! What Lemuel says is exactly what I had in mind when I posted about Don McLean and this song. That girl in my blogroll, Karla (she's the daughter of a friend of mine), told me I should get the YouTube video. I said no, because my main purpose was to make people focus both on van Gogh's painting and on the poem/lyrics. I guess I've achieved that goal... I'm so glad you liked it and went searching for the song. It's a beautiful surprise indeed to open your blog and to see Don McLean's face... Most touching...
I cannot thank you enough for being so attentive and so kind, Joel!
Once again, thanks a lot! :-)
this is my favorite song... period. for all of those who see different colors in the world
That's so beautiful. Thanks for reminding us.
