Karlheinz

[rosslavel]

Yes Terry, Jose has truly honoured you with this exquisite piece.... and you have equally honoured him in the gorgeous colours of your video!

Blessings,

Ross, Australia

[masumihanasanta]

Dear Terry＾＾All blends on your video.

A wonderful image.

And a splendid piano performance.

Thank you for healing and joy.＾＾

[meilingleiko]

My dearest Terry,

I'm so glad to read your beautiful words again, I cried then ....

Welcome back! and please, please take care!

May God bless you and dear Mother, and Linda!

With big hug and love,

Meiling

[mytalent2]

oooooooooooh what a music discovery I think you find my soul here in this master piece.

[Vravishing]

I was deep listening into this enchanting charade when I felt the breeze blew thin strands of cold --- I sensed a chasm of silence.

[Gorgorilla1]

AAAHH, ayer te perdiste nuevamente mi cumpleaños, pero tú tranquila, te he guardado unos ricos y deliciosos pasteles, están exquisitos,de chocolate y nata, espero que te gusten...Un besooooooooooo muy grande mi niña, muchoooooo...

[Gorgorilla1]

Terry, por casualidad y de visita a tu canal he leido que estas un poco enferma, yo, te deseo de todo corazón que te recuperes muy pronto y vuelvas ha ofrecernos toda tu simpatía, buen humor y talento, Aunque no entre mucho ya en You Tube, me acuerdo mucho de tí siempre, te considero una gran y expléndida mujer y te tengo un cariño inmenso. Te envio un abrazo muy cálido desde mi isla con todo el cariño sincero de mi corazón... Un besoooooooooooo enorme Terry....

[esther2322]

Wonderful! It's so motivating this work in conjunction with Tauce dear Terry!

Reflections composition is as beautiful

as we can see each image!

Magnificent production! sensitized me !

Congratulations to Jose Armenta for his great work

and to you for the visual beauty and the great editing job:)

Greetings and my best wishes to you my angel !!!

[Mellomel]

Ahh...this is why I love you dearly Terry. YOu take your artisic ey, and weave together a wonderful piece that becomes a part of my mind's experience. Watching one of your productions is right up there with a fine vintage wine after a wondferful meal...again....ahhhh.

[28iAD77]

This is beautiful to listen to and wander off in dreams and let your mind flow to beautiful places. Lovely videowork.

'The Thoughts Of Music'

[xanglat]

Take the time! This is what comes as a reflection in writing to you while listening to your latest creation!

Obvious ... that our society so often prevents us to do! We need to say STOP! It is not easy! And thus add to a life in years and years to life

Thanks again for your exquisite realization very sensitive and very melodious !

SMILES..... ONE MORE TIME : BRAVO & MERCI

[meilingleiko]

Dearest Terry,

Speechless, always make the soul flying slightly. Thank you so much for the latest video. Terry, lunar new year is coming (next Wendesday), I would like to invite dear Mother, you and Lin to join me to enjoy the happiness, peace ... in the beautiful early spring.

With love and hugs, Meiling :)

[dahoser44]

Hello Terry, I think that this is a refection of what a beautiful person you are and such extraordinary music talent by Jose Armenta.!! I'll have to look him up. Awesome video my friend, wonderful birthday tribute.!!

Warm hugs, Floyd

[BocaFriend]

Yes, indeed, Floyd! Jose has sensitivity in all his performances and

a great style. I hope you'll enjoy his other work! Warm hugs and

stifled sneezes, ~Terry with a raging head cold!

[RamonaFromPomona]

Beautiful job on this one, Terry !!

[BocaFriend]

Thanks very much, dear Laura. As cliche' as it is to say

so, I have to term this to have been a "labor of love."

[abhikmazumder]

Beautiful!

[BocaFriend]

Thanks! I'm happy you enjoyed it.

[xanglat]

Thank you for this great birthday gift or tribute forms watercolors full of sweetness! Much research, details! Beautiful colors lulled by soft music!

BRAVO & THANK YOU

[BocaFriend]

Joe, thank you so much for your kind words being sprinkled throughout

my Channel and videos like poetic potpourri -- leaving a smile-inducing

aroma and sense of harmony in the household: my Channel, where I live!

Warm hugs and Citrus Kisses from South Florida, ~Terry

[dengdevideo]

Nice music & Photo..

[BocaFriend]

Grazie, Andrea! Greetings from Florida!

[cather333]

Dear Terry,

A late but very sincere Happy Birthday to your friend Jose. You have made a very lovely video for him. And he is realy an awesome pianist. I will suscribe to his channel. I hope he will have a wonderful and happy year. God bless you both.

With love, Catherine ♥

[BocaFriend]

Thank you, dear Catherine! Jose is teaching extensively and is rarely able

to be on YouTube these days, but I hope this will not always be so, and I

believe he will be very encouraged to know he has an audience awaiting

him whenever he can see his way clear to compose. Or play for us!

Thank you for your wonderful words and I hope you'll enjoy his past

performances in the meantime! With love and prayers for you, ~T

[7notemode]

Beautiful.

[BocaFriend]

Hi, Tom. Thanks for the comment!

[124bjw]

Sorry for being late and wishing a belated happy birthday to Jose. He's a fabulous musician. You did him justice with your seamless reflections to his very sweet, delicate music. This was a gem Terry. You're both stylish in a similar manner and it comes across masterfully.

Love,

Bev

[BocaFriend]

No problem, Bev, as I don't think the 'birthday celebrant' is aware

of this gift and celebration in his honor. I'd like to think he's too

busy being kept busy in an otherwise happy manner. Thank you

so much for such eloquent and generous compliments for each.

Your opinion matters a great deal to me. With love, ~Terry

[maryaport]

Very nice video!

Happy Birthday!

[BocaFriend]

Thank you, Marya!  I find your profile to be impressive

and your Channel to be a remarkable resource of a

wide range of beautiful music. I was happy to find Omar

in your spotlight (I covered his "Run Away With Me"

one year ago) and Rondo Veneziano in one of your

many comprehensive Playlists! : ) Best wishes to you!

~Terry

[maryaport]

@BocaFriend Your video is posted on my playlist "Great Videos"! Congratulations!

[BocaFriend]

Oh, I didn't realize that! I'm very honored! Thanks for telling me, Marya;

and thank you for appreciating all efforts involved in this collaboration.

Warm wishes, ~Terry

[ANTONIVSLVCIVS]

Favourited

[BocaFriend]

Thank you for such beautiful words for myself and our

gifted composer friend! I loved when you wrote how Jose's

composition leads to a long reflection on life. This is a

really wonderful interpretation and I'm quite sure you

will bring a smile and nod from Maastricht, NL.

Thank you, dear 'Tonio!

[ANTONIVSLVCIVS]

Jose Armenta

Happy Birthday my friend. I wish you much happiness and fulfillment through a life of love and peace, along with your family and friends.

This composition is beautiful and leads to a long reflection on life. Congratulations!

Terrecita, beautiful creation**********

Great and deserved homage to Jose. Well done. Applause!

'Tonio

[SabMei1]

What beautiful reflections Terry! I can imagine how fingers are dancing over the fretboard while playing this fluently relaxing music. I like the interesting points of view on the ivories (right translation? never heard this word which LEO told me:) Could imagine those photos also from guitar strings. I should try to get some... Also enjoyed the drops. It seems to be a little world in every drop. Thanks for fireing my imagination with your beautiful video - Love S-)

[BocaFriend]

My Dear Sabine, thank you for your interesting response. I think Jose would

be ever so happy to hear your guitar transcription as he is a big fan of guitar,

as most pianists are! (And his Spanish culture nearly guarantees this, too!)

As to "the ivories," yes, this is correct. In earlier days of piano manufacturing

ivory was used for the white keys. In the past half century we are more sensitive

against the slaughter of elephants for use of their tusks in this way! Much

love and thanks, ~T

[PianistaItaliano]

Great work Terry, lovly music and pictures

[PianistaItaliano]

@PianistaItaliano I meant to say "Lovely"

[BocaFriend]

Thanks so much, Alfonso! Jose's music touches the heart and soul.

Best wishes from Florida!

[OldRabit]

Absolutely beautiful video!

[BocaFriend]

Thanks, Janet!

[CNlyrical]

Dearest Terry,

reflections ... a beautiful theme

artfulllly expressed in music and images.

I love the sensitive flow of the piano,

your abondunce of ideas

opens my heart for the reflections

that are everywhere ...

and that we are in our deep self

reflections of the Divine.

With love ~ Crystal

[BocaFriend]

Ah, Crystal Clarity!  Such wisdom! Such an important

insight. No, no ... THE important insight! And I know

the composer would agree. With love and thanks ~T

[BocaFriend]

Allison, thank you for your comments and for following through with

a visit to Jose's Channel. He is surely a treasure for anyone who is

interested in beautiful piano music. He plays with great warmth

whether his own composition or in honoring a fellow artist with a

great cover. Cheers to you and I wish you a lovely week, ~Terry

[gaby33174]

Dear Terry,

Always a pleasure to start the computer and connect to your channel!!!

A great way to start the morning :) It was worth the wait:) Wow what a great masterpiece again. I am proud of you! ღღღ The music is beautiful ...♫♥♫. So sweet of you to do this for Jose his birthday ;)

Hug Gabriëlle

[BocaFriend]

Gabrielle, I was definitely anxious to share this with you as I knew you

would swoon at Jose's tender emotion and ultimate optimism on the

keys. He really is a priceless discovery here on YouTube and I hope

many more people will continue to discover his work, both original

composition and as a sensitive interpreter of others' good work.

This is something you can relate well to, as your Brian Crains, et al

are given utmost respect as you perform them with such tender

loving care! Hugs, ~Terry

[mwkjdrew]

Dear friend Terry,

What a Beautiful video.!!

Lovely music and amazing images.

Thanks for sharing .....Wenhsing

***..HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOSE..***

[BocaFriend]

Greetings, dear Wenhsing, and thank you for your

beautiful comments and all the wonderful 'drawings'

you leave on my Channel comments page! I love

the modern hieroglyphics! Cyberglyphics? : )

Have a beautiful and blessed week, my friend!

[MissMarilyn1962]

This is so sensitive.. that it bring me to tears ... so touched by the beautiful music... it touched my soul... I think...

The pictures are really wonderful ! 2:19 ... Oohw ! I love it...♥ Great job my dearest Terry ...

Wish Jose a wonderful birthday ! And Blessings.. for you both !

With all my love,

Marilyn

[BocaFriend]

Oh, precious Marilyn, your comment brought a tear to my eye, too!

Interesting that you cite 2:19 as I had placed 1:07 just for you! (And

I wonder what the woman is holding in her hand? It looks like a sock

or a boomerang! In either case, I would hate for it to be thrown in

my direction! hihi) Thank you for your blessings for each of us --

it means a lot, you know! With my love and hugs & kisses, ~T

[MissMarilyn1962]

@BocaFriend

Of course I see the picture of MM ... and I thought 'hihi I say nothing .. I bet she come back to say something of it..!'' and that is for now 'my boomerang to you ! lol

Send you all my love good friend ... 'always connected with each other' .. ♥

Marilyn xoxox

[christel2846]

Hello Terry,this is your best video up to date! I love how the images seamlessly flow into each other in perfect harmony with this outstanding music!! Congratulation on Jose's birthday and your fantastic creation!!

Love and hugs and kisses

Christel

[BocaFriend]

Thank you, dear Christel. I find myself agreeing with you that this is

probably my best effort in terms of shaping each moment of the flow

and not catching any random benefit or serendipitous nuances along

the way. This was strictly a matter of refining and tweaking and

realigning and tweaking and refining again. Six hours straight,

because I'm not as skilled as others who do this with a practiced

eye and hand. But I love being immersed until the sculpture

comes out the kiln, so to speak! love~T

[BlueAquaMarina]

How so very kind of you Terry to create this magnificent video on Jose Armenta's birthday!!! There are no words to be said on this masterpiece you came up with again this very time my dear friend!!.. Stunning images!! Exceptional music!! It all feels like a dream!!.. But which one of your creations doesn't feel like one?... Thank you so very much Terry!!!!

[BocaFriend]

Katarina, you're so very kind in your beautiful embrace of my work!

Thank you for your dreamy comments! I hope no one pinches me! : )

This is definitely one dream I don't wish to wake from. I think that Jose

will feel the amount of respect and affection radiating from all who've

commented on this labor of love! He deserved the effort! Hugs ~T

[guruofpiano]

Very peaceful my friend, Great images of course and wonderful color.

I enjoyed this very much ;) Thumbs up!!!

All the best Terry. Y.F. G.

[BocaFriend]

My dear Guru, I am happy you could relax and enjoy this soulful

meditation from Jose. It's such a very special piece of music which

reflects his optimism, even in quiet moments. Have a lovely week!

[vlem1991]

Always a listening ear for great piano playing and yes thsi si great piano playing here a joy for my ears and soul.

Nico

[BocaFriend]

Thank you, Nico, I'm sure Jose will be well pleased by your comment!

[RomeSnowShower]

My dear Terry, ....I am following these notes, and the visuals you chose for this delicate gift to Josè.May be it's the score, may be are the pictures, ...but what is in my heart, now...is the love you have for you friends. And this, touches me alot.

Finally...happy birthday, Josè.....

Take care, Terry.....

Yours

-Luca

[BocaFriend]

Thank you dearest Luca, my spiritual little brother in all things emotional

above and beyond things artistic! Indeed I share in your priorities, even

though we each posted videos of artistic merit this week. The heart is

what matters most of all. Thank you for your timely perspective. Your ~T

[Elegarret]

I like this music ... this music nice to stand at the window in a warm apartment and watch how slowly it's snowing ... changing all around ... we change ...everything is white and fabulous ...

May God bless the creator of this wonderful music! Happiness and great success!

[Elegarret]

Dear Terry, great job! I really like all your videos. You have your style and excellent taste.

[BocaFriend]

Vera, thank you so much for your gracious compliments! I very much

appreciate your kind support. (And I love the draw bridge of your icon!)

Warm wishes from South Florida, in a town with two draw bridges.

Alas, we only have budget for one bridge tender, so he must be very

quick going back and forth ... via speed boat! (I am just kidding)

But we do have the bridges! Haha Have a good week. ~Terry

[deepdivemouse]

It's so amazing to see your creation. How gifted you are. You transfering the emotions from the music with your images. And what you show is etheral beauty. This kind of video are rare. Only you with your phenomenal spirit can create this special gift. For me are this reflections of Terrys heart and soul. : )

Thanks for Lucy's place in your video. I always like to see her picture.

I'm very proud to have a friend like you with such a talent and excellent taste.

Andrea

¡Feliz cumpleaños, José!

[BocaFriend]

Andrea, my dearest, it is such a privilege to be in the company

of such fine artists here. Precisely because there is a high

standard of workmanship found here, the motivation to reach

higher in one's own limited creativity achieves the result of

leading us higher and deeper and broader in whatever it is

we bring to the table here as our offering. (I thought of you

and Christel at 1:30 with the skater as a sort of Kokopelli)

Thanks for your beautiful compliments. Ever yours, ~Terry

[igelche2]

Oh Terry, it's always a pleasure to come on your channel! Enchanting images that reflect the theme of the music piece, so be both to one "Reflections".

Happy birthday dear Ƹ̴Ӂ̴ƷJose ArmentaƸ̴Ӂ̴Ʒ

Congratulations to my Terrysis for this superb video!

The pictures tell a lot about love in your heart for the people!

I love you

[BocaFriend]

Uschi-hassenschwester! Vielen danke fur das artistic herz!

(I also like der zwei schmetterlinge, aka dos mariposas, aka

deux papillons, aka two butterflies!) Most of all it please me

to do work worthy of being well regarded from my artistic

idols and you rank among them! Wishing you a good week!

With love, as always, ~Terry

[paulspeer1]

Fabulous, Terry. Very well done.

[BocaFriend]

Thank you very much, Paul. It's always an honor to have you

visit and comment. (And now you know what I do when I'm not

hitting the "Accelerator" -- I pause for certain "Reflections.")

Seriously, your "Accelerator" is the Speer I take aim for

when I want to feel good and have a surge of adrenalin

and focus! I click the link to your page in between cyber

chores and email correspondence. Thanks for the rush!

Warm wishes ~Terry

[johanna794]

thank you terry kisses ,johanna

Greetings and thanks, Johanna Olanda! Hugs and Kisses!

[jeffro1234567891]

Beautiful Terry,

I am sitting here in awe. Such a beautiful symbolic birthday gesture to a beautiful person. You have the most beautiful heart Terry that brings happyness and joy to those around you. Thanks for sharing your beautiful spirit and lifting our hearts again.

And a happy birthday to you Jose. You have a beautiful friend thats an Angel,

With love always,

~Jeffro :)

[BocaFriend]

Dear Jeffro, I have no doubt that Jose has angels on his side

though I can hardly number among their rank. (Either that or

I'm *very* late for Choir practice! hahaha) Thank you for your

sweet commentary and good wishes for Jose! Wishing you a

good week! Hugs and love, as ever, ~Terry : ) : ) <-- Gemini

[jeffro1234567891]

@BocaFriend Beautiful Terry,

You are definitely numbered in the ranks of an Earthly Angel. Trust me. Speaking of being late for Choir practice. I was all smiles when I read that. I used to always be late. I was usually in my car listening to Carol King, James Taylor and Chicago. Maybe thats why I cant sing. lol..Thanks for the hug and God bless..

Your freind and proud to be a fellow Gemini..

Jeffro :) -

[NadiaComposer]

Dearest Terry, your birthday dedications are so special and unique. You always know what music to choose, what photographs would be best, your images flow is so amazing and unforgettable. I enjoy so much every video you so beautifully and lovingly create. Love the music and the images here. Thank you for your great gift of creating, collaborating and your beautiful friendship.

With love always,

Nadia

[BocaFriend]

Nadia, my dear friend, what can I say other than you have given me the

distinct honor of feeling as appreciated for my work as I feel about the

musicians/composers and photographers whose work I merge. This is

an amazing accomplishment given the circumstances. It speaks to the

idea that each player has their role in keeping the mechanism of life

moving forward. Thank you so much for your friendship and all of

your ongoing encouragement and appreciation! Love always, ~T

[NadiaComposer]

@BocaFriend The pleasure is all mine dear Terry, it is always such a great treat watching your videos=movies! You are creating masterpieces each time my dearest friend and each of your dedications is a real treasure! Your vision of music and photography is totally unique and absolutely amazing. Thank you!

I also forgot to say Happy Birthday Jose!

With love,

Nadia

[13crickets]

Dear Terry, I love YouTube. Why, you ask? You handcrafted this beautiful gift for Mr. Armenta and all the rest of us get to help him unwrap it. Over and over…. It’s like a cosmic birthday party (I brought my own refreshments) where Everybody is invited to help tear open the package and share the present. Perfect. Wait! There’s more. Your “party favors” to all is an introduction to this excellent composer. My friend, your video presentation is a mirror image of this masterful composition.

Ron

[BocaFriend]

Oh, Ron - whoa! I had such an electrostatic chill run through me with

you last line. The video AS mirror to the music. As in your musical

compositions, you have a gift for communicating an abstract idea

with elegant simplicity and an effective directness which makes the

note played, or idea posited, seem like the most natural development

imaginable. Thank you for bringing your psychic 'sketch pad' to our

table and allowing us to peer over your shoulder as you archive

the events we share. ~Terry

[sguitar]

Hey dear Terry,

this is a wonderful idea and the video is just wonderfully!! Music and pics are in harmony like always!!! He will love it!!! You put so much passion in it that I really like!!! Have a nice sunday and a hug Sarah :-)

[BocaFriend]

Thank you, sweet Sarah! (I can never simply call you Sarah, the adjective

suits you so beautifully that I think of it as part of your name now!) I'm

happy when I can accomplish something for the enjoyment of friends!

And so you leave me feeling fulfilled in this mission! Hugs, ~Terry

[Deisinoful]

Well, at last a piano composer who uses few notes to develope his theme (if with a taste for fiorituras to resolve the escapes). Remarkable the delicacy with which the songs unfolds

[BocaFriend]

Gianluca, thank you very much. Yes, it was a particular pleasure,

though a challenging one, to frame a montage which would underscore

the beautiful pacing in Jose's choice of "Reflections." Just as an

object reflects light differently from various facets, Jose's piece

carries interesting refractory opportunities. I was just enjoying

your latest soundtrack. Your music makes me feel good! ~T

[Deisinoful]

@BocaFriend My focus on musical content is so full that noticing the images takes a deliberate attention, and often I even keep my eyes shut on videos, which is what Youtube is all about. Very odd since I’m a huge fan of the concept that music and pshysical world are strictly related. So on second view to your work I was impressed by the visual effects that simulate a camera motion, it reinforces the perception of a smooth and soothing flow. A perfect match between music and video editing

[LONGWINDING]

Beautiful music, the composition and the sound...that´s professional music! And of course great video work, Terry. Enjoyed this!

Best wishes, Frank

[BocaFriend]

Thank you so much, Frank! You and I know what it's like to love

piano and guitar. In fact Jose knows this, too, as I recall he enjoys

guitar music very much. I'm so happy when I can alternate between

musical genres and instruments. It's obvious you feel this way, too!

Hugs from a dedicated listener, ~Terr

[LONGWINDING]

@BocaFriend Thank you, Terry!

Just wanna send you the missed "y"....found it somewhere on my keyboard;-)))

[BocaFriend]

Well, you know how it is, Frank: As a woman I have 2 X's whereas

you have and X and a Y and, oh, what? Ahhhh. Chromatic!

I thought Chromosome! You know...like that catch Simon & Garfunkel

song! hahahaha! When I had noticed my abbreviated "Terr" it

made me realize how some people have always used one syllable

for me name. It sounds dangerously close to the word "terror".

Thanks for the Y. Take care, ~T...getting terrier and terrier by the day!

[BocaFriend]

** I meant catchy Simon & Garfunkel song!  I saved you from making

a u-turn, y-wise! LMAO!

[LillyC68]

A wonderful dedication and tribute to Jose, dear Terry!

Even if he is currently not able to be on YT very often (like some other people... :))

he still is here, because he gave us his beautiful music to enjoy whenever we want to.

All my best wishes for him and his family... and of course for my Boca-Queen who is always aware of specials occasions... :)

I love your style...

hugs and have a great sunday,

Lilly

[BocaFriend]

Lilly, your words always are so warm, witty, and classy! Thank you

so much for being one of the pillars in my YouTube clubhouse!

In fact I'll toast my classy pillar with a glass of Pilsner! (not!)

Warm hugs and my best wishes, ~TDQ

[coman4ero]

Beautiful Music & Vid !

Happy Birthday Maestro !

Let There & Everywhere Be LIGHT !

Peace, Love, Music & Rainbows !

Lot of SUN, Health & Happiness !

Upon You Maestro, to Terry,To All other, Ever & Forever !

Just like Before !

Or Better !

( : - )

[BocaFriend]

A big smile (or should I say a better one?! ha-ha) follows

from your radiant wishes, dear Coman. Thanks for never

letting us down. You're so reliable in your support! Hugs ~T

[MartinoVergnaghi]

Hello Terry...first of all, please accept my best wishes of an happy 2011! I think it's the first time I comment your videos on new year! :) About this video that I am commenting now...of course, it's beautiful (even if I don't need to say it, because your works are ALWAYS beautiful!); I did not know Jose Armenta's music before...so, your video was for me an opportunity to discover another interesting musician! :) Thanks Terry! You introduced me to an unknown beauty!!

[BocaFriend]

Yes, Happy New Year, indeed, Martino! I think it will be exciting to see where

you take your listeners next. Thank you for your comment on my video -- it

was a labor of love. I am especially rewarded by your discovery of Jose's

gift as both pianist and composer. His touch is so tender and beautiful, yes?

You will also appreciate his "Pasaste a mi Lodo" and "Todo lo que soñé"

among others, I believe. Your words always re-enforce your belief in my

Channel as a forum for exchange of ideas! Grazie!

[yulno]

Wonderfully reflective...

[BocaFriend]

Thank you, John. I appreciate your visit and comment!

[judyesther]

Wonderful dedication dear Terry and a beautiful video for Jose´s amazing music. I enjoyed especially your mirror and shadow images. In the meantime you got your own style at making videos and I love it. It´s so relaxing and elegant . You always set unexpected images one after another and they look great together. Just awesome. Have a nice Sunday. Hugs and kisses, and Jose, all the best to you to your Birhtday, have a wonderful day! Health and happiness for your life! Hugs, Judyesther

[BocaFriend]

Dearest Judyesther, thanks for taking time from Klausi's birthday blitz

to make such warm-hearted salutations for each of us! I am so deeply

pleased that you are now among the beloved composers on YT, as

opposed to when we began our friendship with you writing lovely

comments and posting occasional covers of tunes you admired.

(Like "Winter Cherries" eh?) I know you love Jose's music and you

have been so kind about my video style. Thank you so much, and

sending love to my favorite globetrotters!

[elham1968]

Oh my dear Terry, you said in part of the description " there's no pressure on anyone to do anything but enjoy his beautiful music."

well my dear how could hear, listen, feel and live this beautiful experience with you without telling you what a beautiful, sensitive, affectionate, video you made that reflects your purity and big heart that welcomes all.

For your dear friend Jose I say HAPPY BIRTHDAY and may he be surrounded with happiness & joy for ever.

Terry, you are so unique.

Regina,

[BocaFriend]

Dearest Regina, thank you so very much for your beautiful words!

And thank you for the beautiful blessing-de-cumpleanos for my

friend Jose. He is such a beautiful witness to the strength of a

man's love for family and community and humanity en masse.

I know you would embrace his admirable affirmation of life

and sensitive, stylish touch at the keyboard. We are blessed

with such good men among the many fine women here on YT.

Warm hugs to you from Florida, ~Terry

[Harky1951]

What a sweet journey this one is. The only images more mesmerizing to me than a flickering fireplace, are those with reflections on water. Pair that with this incredibly tasteful and completely lovely music composition from Jose, and it becomes an experience of heaven on earth... I'm so impressed! And I love my benches...and high heels as well!! It's my lucky day.....Smiling....Pamela

[BocaFriend]

Dearest Pamela, when I saw the two benches opposite one another,

you can imagine how I smiled. When I saw them become the default

option among 3 thumbnails, I realized I had gained a leg up over my

DeepDiveRival-for your affections! : ) (And I have a massive shoe

video to share with you anon, Lady Imelda Marcos-in-training!) My

DSL connection has been acutely indecisive. A sudden 40 degree

temperature drop may not be helping! I'm so happy to have made

it online to upload Jose's gift! love ~T

[Harky1951]

@BocaFriend I'm sure it was the same smile I got when I saw them. Now we can sit across from one another and contemplate our blessings face to face. I'm glad you got a kick out of your benchwork achievement. Tag, you're IT Andrea. LOL....~Pamela

[TruePiano1]

Dear Terry, this is a lovely birthday tribute to Jose! I am enjoying both images and music. This is a fine composition Jose! And played so beautifully. Another winning combination. Love & hugs to Terry and Jose I'll ...'um shake your hand with heartfelt congratulations for your composition and give you a pat on the back for a Happy Birthday wish. Best wishes, Rob.

[BocaFriend]

Please don't let me catch you with a joy-buzzer in your palm, Rob!

Some professional rivalries can get rather Harding/Kerrigan, y'know?!

I mean, I love your compositions, too! : )

Seriously, dear Rob, I thank you for your endorsement! I'm happy

to see you here so soon! And I know you've been a big appreciator

of Jose's uploads, the originals and his beautiful covers of Lanz, etc.

Talk to you soon, I'm sure. We have our collab with Nadia up next!

love, ~Terry

[MrJimdeb]

Beautifully done. Every time I watch a new MoM video, I'm amazed at the quality of music and images tied together so skillfully; every time I say "that's my favorite". So call me wishy washy....Great job Terry, and a special thanks to Andrea's cat. Jimio

[BocaFriend]

Hey, you're numero uno, Jimio! I forget what that translates to on

your Channel, but I know there's a fellow who tries for that distinction

each time! : ) Thank you for your kind words. And my inner spin,

doctor-wise, informs me that you are not wishy-washy but rather

creatively 'fluid' and able to reassign and reassess and re-evaluate

mounds of montage footage at a single leap and bound! (smile)
