This is about 'your' era. Do you live in a past era with some of your life, my life revolves around music and I was thinking that I had an era that l would say was 'my era' however my music tastes are so varied but every morning I wake up with a song in my head, it could be a march like Radetsky or something from Rigoletto, Carmen, and on up to Dance, Trance and Electric.

When I was a boy watching people like Billy Cotton on a black and white TV l used to love hearing a honky tonk piano, more recently I have liked more piano but not classical, watching some young children play a piano in a station I am jealous, people stopping to look at the piano and just sitting down and playing some spectacular music at times brings tears to my eyes, it is something that I cannot do but would really love to.

So, do you live in an era of anything, do you have a quality, are you jealous of someone that can do something that you could have had you had the chance years ago.

On some political level its the early 20th century in my brain. I regard the Great Recession as being like WWI - the event which over time unravelled the world - and I anticipate a roaring 20s based on reckless lending(repeating the pre-recession economy more intensely just as the 1920s repeated the years before the war)and then being wiped out in spectacular fashion. At this point the fascists arising amongst us today begin to misbehave properly and the left gets radical.

Not being an academic or politically minded l would never let my thoughts wander in that direction however my Grandmother was heard to say "history repeats itself".

Does it repeat itself or do we let it.

I'm anachronistic.

I live in my own little world, in another era too.

For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night.
Psalms 90:4

There's 4 watches at night, and 4 watches in the day.

That's 8 thousand years, today; and that's the era I live in.
