At 4pm on Sunday, just when the sun was setting in late, late winter, one of our 3 local stations WJRT from Flint I think, played a movie - almost always a black and white masterpiece from the 30s. The music for the "intro's" to the show was Beethoven's 5th piano concerto (don't roll your eyes - this was the late 50s).
It seemed solemn enough and certainly evokes a black and white movie backdrop. I find the association when hearing the music - as I just did on the radio - to be as strong as a "visual".
Our TV was in the corner near the fireplace so it was natural to stretch out on the carpet in front of the fire, Carroll Park radiant in setting sunlight, that nice smell of our Sunday evening traditional meal of tomato soup and egg noodles along with fresh baked bread, musical breaks with my all time favorite concerto - the shear comfort of things pleasurable...I need to go to the library and find a Carey Grant movie and remember the days of the Lions, Tigers, Pistons and Red Wings.
