Papers/Resumes Related to Artists I Have Interviewed...by Melody Fox (aka the Princess of Rock)

 So, this is the deal:  to keep or not to keep?😊😉  William, I am borrowing your dilemma phrase, but changing it for obvious reasons.  Lol 😅

There's only so much paper that one can keep, right?!  Me, being a pack rat, I keep things, hanging on to them, as if they were relics...Well, in reality, many of them are!  Also, since I have a photographic memory, I frequently come to the conclusion that, if I throw a specific item away, that memory will be gone forever, and that goes for paper too...It's a bit frightening, actually.

In this case, however, I'm talking about A LOT OF PAPER...no kidding!  Years and years of accumulated paper, starting from the eighties! It takes up a lot of space, and it's heavy too...What can I do?  Hang on to it a while longer? Dump it? Shred it?  No, no, I certainly cannot save it!

Just days ago, I threw away a box of fliers for many of my DJ Special Guest spinning nights and events.  Believe it or not, it was quite a relief!  Like cleaning the attic... Lol 😃  I only kept a few to hand out to friends and Fans to use as book markers, and some for myself.

However, I have to do something about it:  there is way too much paper!  and I can't handle it anymore...mainly because it takes up too much room!  There are stacks and stacks of paper...and pictures!  Pictures of artists and bands I have interviewed.  The pictures, I can keep, I guess, but all their stories on paper?  They have to go...It's a must!

What do you think?  For those of you who read me, here, please write in the comments section of my blog, what you think, what you would do, if you were in my shoes.  It's really important for me...🙏

Thank you, peepz, strangers and not.

I chose this by Nat King Cole, *It's Only a Paper Moon*, because it sounds (the title) appropriate for my writeup... After all, it is only paper, right?!

Sadness: A Tribute to C.R. and Melancholy...

While looking at some pictures (those of Claude R.) on FB, I started crying and just couldn't stop...He passed away on June 25, 2025/Wed., a victim of cancer, that disease that still hasn't been conquered by mankind, the so called medicine men. 😟 A cure has NOT been found...Believe it or not, that's the way it is!

Claude had been offered a job, a well paid one, working with the Health system, in Naples, Italy, since 2019...He had suffered so much, for the lack of work, money, leading a really tough life and was finally getting on the sunny side of the sidewalk, getting on track!  A house, a job, better times, and most of all, he was able to travel, something that he really loved to do.  Going mainly to cold places... 🏔⛄⛇🌨🏂  He was sooooooo happy!  and...I was happy for him!  

The winds were blowing in the right direction...Everything seemed to be going well, and Claude was finally doing all the things he wanted and had wished for, for such a long time💙...

Then, all stopped!   How cruel life can be, or is it Destiny?!   Destiny turned its back and left him in the dark...  I am so sad!

Several months have passed, but my sadness hasn't and I cry, not every day, but today was one of them (Fri., Nov. 14), when tears were flowing and I just couldn't stop.

I will always love you...your Sciu Sciu (his nickname for me, which means something like *sugar sugar*)

It Sticks to your Brain and You Just Can't Let Go of It... by Melody Fox

There's some Music that just sticks in your head and won't let go of you:  it haunts you, in a nice way!  

During my Journalistic and DJ years, there have been (THERE ARE), many...One of these tracks is Yann Tiersen's *L'Autre Valse de Amelie*, from the French movie, AMELIE (sorry, my French Fans and Friends, no accent).  

Like so many of you, I, too, have my moments and fixations on different tracks, different genres, different ballads, different times of the days, weeks, months, years.  Today (at the time of writing, Monday, Nov. 10, 2025), my pick fell on Amelie.  I saw the movie when it came out years ago...  Being in love with Paris, even with all the problems that this city has, I grabbed the opportunity to see it in French, with the subtitles in English, during one of my sojourns in France.  It was very delicate, sweet and a bit crazy, almost impossible... Lol 😀  Even though I'm a Rocker, having electronic vibes, diving into contaminated sounds, I liked the movie score, which was very much Champs Elysees style, if you know what I mean.  The one particular track, which I mentioned at the beginning of my story, was one of my favorites, and I remember humming it to myself for many weeks after I had watched the flick! 🎥  Years later, it's still in my head.  I remember having the cd single somewhere, but I just couldn't find it.  Today (Mon., 11.10) I was going crazy trying to find it, both on YT (You Tube), and other research channels/engines... 😑  Sure, there were many accounts I found on YT, a lot were just click bait...I listened to hours of Music, but didn't recognize anything.  Some weren't even Yann Tiersen's tunes, but the account said it was his!  The BS!  I listened to so much crap, for about two hours or so, then, at last, FINALLY!  I recognized something...Yeahooo! 👏  What a major accomplishment!  

Here it is in all its glory and waltzing style!  Can't you see yourself dancing down Champs Elysees?!  I can... 💃👫

PEACE!
