November 23 2006:
Thanks for the Music

Being a Brit, I don’t celebrate Thanksgiving, and having no family I had to think of something different for this weeks challenge.

I can’t play a note, but I love listening to music. My radio and CD player give me so much pleasure and the TV really does take a back seat.

I always like to ‘hold’ my music; I still haven’t got to terms with downoads.

love the shot, love the sentiment

shatterbug		24-Nov-2006 21:05
And the music industry is thankful that you buy your music :-) Great shot!

Bill Ewart Jr		24-Nov-2006 20:36
and you're very welcome~!

kimberly borchardt		24-Nov-2006 20:23
Hey, thanks for sharing with us your consistently artistic vision!!!

JW		24-Nov-2006 19:02
Good call, my friend! (as Steve Harley would say)

AL		24-Nov-2006 15:06
A perfect simplicity that tells much. Yes, a big thanks for the music as I'd be soulless without it! And thanks for "holding" it. Have a beautiful weekend!

Bryan Ramsay		24-Nov-2006 15:03
Yes, where would we be without the music? Great shot and theme. -BJ

Lilith		24-Nov-2006 07:49
I think music is only real in 'the original cover/box' (dunno how to explain). Downloads are not really real. I have the same thing with magazines, I want to be the one to open it the first time. Smell the paper etc. Kiss, Lilith

Guest		24-Nov-2006 05:56
Interesting that they thank you for buying. How will they thank us if we download?

Dave Wixx		24-Nov-2006 02:07
Cool shot, excellent simplicity.

Linda Willets		24-Nov-2006 01:37
Yes, we need music for our souls.. very nice photo

Guest		24-Nov-2006 01:34
Well spotted Ray - that's very small writing! And being without the CD has made me wonder what life would be like without music. GMV

Wei O'Connell		24-Nov-2006 01:32
Great shot. Yes, there are so many wonderful things to be thankful for in our daily life...

Guest		23-Nov-2006 23:56
Thinking a John Miles rendition maybe appropriate, you got this challenge taped Ray, well done !

Dan Chusid		23-Nov-2006 23:25
Would you mind holding my tuba while I post this comment Ray? Thanks! :^))

nordic		23-Nov-2006 23:11
Can't imagine how you could hold your downloads!! ;-) Keep rocking Ray....

laine82		23-Nov-2006 22:37
So I say Thank you for the music, the songs I'm singing Thanks for all the joy they're bringing Who can live without it, I ask in all honesty What would life be? Without a song or a dance what are we? So I say thank you for the music For giving it to me Abba said it for me.....

laine82		23-Nov-2006 22:34
( pbase seems to be broken, I'm way behind )

Guest		23-Nov-2006 21:53
It took me a second to recognize what this is. Great shot, Ray.

Sheila		23-Nov-2006 21:42
Yes a wonderful thing to be thankful for. Great idea.

chrisse		23-Nov-2006 21:08
Great approach of the theme, and I'm with you too on "holding your music". chrisse

wernere01		23-Nov-2006 20:47
Fine idea, Ray. Had the same first, because of the great influence of music within my life. Well, and you should try some downloads too, it may bring back some almost forgotten tunes.

Carole Stevens		23-Nov-2006 20:21
Great idea Ray nice change from the rest!

Ian York		23-Nov-2006 20:10
I like the capture here. You seemed to have mastered digital images, so the next steps could be digital music.....

Stu		23-Nov-2006 19:26
I like the angle you chose...nice detail of something that gets looked at so often but 'not looked at' (if you see what I mean).

joanteno		23-Nov-2006 19:25
Excellent shot.. and thanks for reposting the links on the forum..

Bill Warren		23-Nov-2006 19:17
Strong composition as usual Ray. The light black photo background to full black border strengthens the overall effect.

JSWaters		23-Nov-2006 18:31
Well, if you were anywhere close Ray I'd tell you to get you and your music over here and join us for whole shebang - even if you don't celebrate! Jenene

Nicki Thurgar		23-Nov-2006 18:06
Great image, Ray, I know what you mean about holding music :o)

royalld		23-Nov-2006 18:06
I have not become accustom to downloading music, either. Maybe sometime soon. I, too, am very thankful for music.

Lee Rudd		23-Nov-2006 18:04
give it a spin!

Zak		23-Nov-2006 17:58
only some music is worth thanking for though(ie: not the flop idols heheh)

Faye White		23-Nov-2006 17:51
clever idea.... music is indeed something to be thankful for!

Linda Matta		23-Nov-2006 17:51
As a band office/music director......... I am very thankful for music!

Barbara Heide		23-Nov-2006 17:47
