Finnish edition:

That is a great piece! It is the finnish edition of what? That goes right into my playlist :)

Last time I heard a report about a finnish piano componist that composes rather hard to play pieces, do you know who I mean? I forgot the name...

Most Top 40 these days brings me to tears.

Dear Mama - 2Pac, don't knock it cos it's rap. It was like he was telling my story.

If I'm going to be serious I would have to say In the living years by Mike and the Mechanics I think it's a song that rings true with a lot of fathers and sons. Many of us leave it too late to say h

Cigars are intimate, and stand on their own merit. That is one of the beauties of them. They are many times a stand in for friends. They are friends when you wish to be alone. They are friends when you wish to concentrate, or perform other tasks. They are friends in waiting.

Furthermore they will step aside and take what is given them when you are ready. They need some attention, but not much. They will take you regardless of your mood, good or bad deeds. They are for guns for hire and will work well for any master or miss. When they are bad, there is no fear of reprisal for shunning them. They will happily follow you wherever you go!

To the heart of the matter, my human smoking friends are many. I find I smoke with them less and less, but that does not diminish their friendship. I have smoked with smokers from abroad and from across town. When the time is right, it is time we meet again.

Many of my friends are here, some old and many new. Some I smoke with spiritually, and others in person. The review you post, allows you to smoke with hundreds at a time.

Smoking with friends is therefore a perspective. I have a box dedicated to a lost member here. When I smoke one, I remember him. I never met him… I only knew him from here, he has passed, and we still can enjoy a cigar together because I do so in memory of him.

I say don't pity those that smoke alone. Some of us enjoy it. Others should reach out and be reached out too if there is a call to smoke in groups. Smoking with groups certainly has its place and it is enjoyable but smoking is ultimately, an intimate affair.

For me, smoking in the car is a favorite pastime. I smoke with Lady Piggy and my dog Trashy… She will sit in my lap for hours while I smoke. I smoke with my horses. My paint horse likes the smoke blown at his nose! Of course, it looks enough like a carrot that he would ****** it, if he was not afraid of reprisal.

If you are lonely (or loony) cigar smokers make great friends, and as such most of my friends are smokers. Give it time and you too will have friends to smoke with if you want them. You can pick up a cigar and post on the forum or chat online, and smoke with friends… It is just how you look at it!

Cheers! -Piggy

Last time I heard a report about a finnish piano componist that composes rather hard to play pieces, do you know who I mean? I forgot the name...

It's written by finnish composer Lasse Mårtenson for a tv-serie almost 40 years ago. Since then the tv-serie is forgotten but the music still lives on. The tv-serie is based on books by Anni Blomquist and it's a story about a fisherman and his wife living on a remote island in Baltic Sea.

Here's the original piece:

And this is with lyrics:

Finnish composer that has written piano? Jean Sibelius?

I thought "Hallelujah - Jeff Buckley version" would have popped up before now.

Also for me "Hurt - Jonny Cash" gets me singing and crying every time. I never liked the Nine Inch Nails version, but Jonny brings a tonne of personal pain to the song that will affect anybody who hears it.

Here's another for my list: Ride On by ACDC. I've a recording of it that was on a bootleg tape that is just awesome. Great blues riffs

These days the song that makes me cry is the national anthem. This country is stuffed. We don't manufacture anything anymore and every day thousands of jobs are disappearing. We can't all go an welfare so what's left for us.

Seriously, I'm starting to think about the Robyn Williams retirement plan.

Yes it was a stupid thing to say my friend. I'm just very disappointed with what we as a nation have done to ourselves over time.

The entire Born to Run album does it to me. Not because it makes me cry from sadness, but from remembering the days and friends of the past, with whom I shared some of the best days of my life.

That's it!! I've teared up to 'ride the lighting', thinking back on friends who've past when mens hair was long and the weed was grown outdoors. Good times!

Kinda personal, I used to see the band Phish a lot in my younger days, traveling from place to place. In the summer of 2004 they announced that they were hanging it up after their festival at the end of summer tour. By then I was starting to have more responsibility in life, but still kinda clinging onto the freedom of being young. Anyway, with Phish calling it quits, this kinda felt like a "time to grow up" moment. They played two nights at Deer Creek, a venue 10 minutes from where I lived at the time. It was one of the legendary stops on Phish tour in the 90s, and the venue at which I saw them the most times. On the first night they encored with Waste, a beautiful song that I wouldn't ordinarily be too happy to get at a show. But in that moment it was on point. It was a culmination of a variety of factors at that point, but I definitely had tears in my eyes as they played it.

Cats in the Cradle by Harry Chapin. Doesn't bring me to tears but chokes me up a little smile.png

This is the one that always got me. Its even worse now that I am a father.

At Christmas time, Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer brings a tear, until the 100th time they play it. Then, it just tugs at my heart a little.
