Retrieving the lost songs

After Thanksgiving a year ago, it occurred to me that I lost a great deal of music in the intervening time between 1990 and 2005. This is music that I had acquired during my time with her. Memories that seemed to be produced by the music have an indelible tag to her. Simply put, music that I once loved is now painful to listen to.

One such piece of music is called Love on a Real Train by Tangerine Dream. This music was used in the film Risky Business. I finally found this tune while I was with her around 1995. I played this piece all over Germany while on the Bahn. The piece has taken on a new memory. The association with her; expunged.

I gotta tell ya, I love the trains in Germany!



I have a lot of video of the traveling by train. These trains run really smooth. When they come into the station you can't even hear the wheels on the rails. When they are going all out they run about 170 Km/hr or 105 mph There are a lot of trains that run faster, but still, 105 mph for a passenger train is really cookin'!

It looks really clean too. I’ve been on a few public lines around the U.S. and none look this clean.
It looks to be late in the evening, deserted. Who took the photos of you, nice strangers?
Oh, how did the language thing go? I know a lot of them do speak English.

No unemployment because of the workman's comp claim/ suit and his employer not accepting his partial work release, he is still legally employed.
