Vincent (Starry, Starry Night)

Two of my favourite paintings by Vincent Van Gogh are Starry Night Over The Rhone and Cafe Terrace At Night.

Having located them on the internet, I am glad to furnish them for your refreshing as follows:-

Having also found the following clip wiith many of his paintings set to Don McLean's Vincent (Starry, Starry Night), I think it's a marvellous combination of sound, imagery and reflection:

Yao Si Ting

On 5 January 2013 while having breakfast at a Burger King outlet, I was enthused by the songs streaming forth in the background.

After the meal, I ventured to ask for the CD cover of the songs. The restaurant manager was gracious and promptly showed me the cover from one of Ms Yao Si Ting's albums which she said was purchased from Popular bookstore. And, that was my chance and refrshing discovery of this relatively unknown but remarkable artiste.

Here then are some renown songs as re-sung by Yao Si Ting in her crisp and soothing voice for your refreshing:-
