Welcome to my regular Friday song/tune day, ladies and gentlemen, where I pick a piece of music that reflects my mood or the times, to share with you.

Today my choice for Friday song day is I Feel Love, written by Giorgio Moroder and Pete Bellopertte, and performed by Donna Summer. It was inevitable that I would choose this song one day. It was Pan of the Wild Music’s favourite song. We played this song for Pan two days ago when my True Love got out of hospital. Pan, our last little, old canary, died this morning. Some time during the night he had a stroke. He was incapacitated and we took him to the vet this morning and ended his suffering.
Pan’s life was eventful, full of adventure and narrow escapes, song and good friends. I will share his story separately when I’ve had a few days to collect myself. He deserves that. My youngest son dug Pan’s grave. My husband would have liked to have done this one last thing for Pan but he was unable to because of his surgery. As is our practice, we buried him with three coins to pay Charon, the ferryman. A magpie perched on the powerline above us and sung him out.
Let’s listen to Pan’s song now.
The world seems full of anger and sorrow at the moment, ladies and gentlemen. Our fury and narcissism demean life. Love and kindness bring us together. I hope one day that we can all join together in song.
It rained overnight here but the sun came out this afternoon. Pan loved to sing in the morning and bask in the afternoon sun.
Sing it with me, everyone.
Kind Regards.
Tracy.
I’m sorry to hear about Pan. I’m sure he’s singing his sweet song in Canary heaven somewhere. I hope TL a is doing ok and continuing to mend.

Thank you, Wormsie. It will be strange to have no feathered brats with us anymore after 18 years of their company.

Pan sounds amazing! I live in the mountains where I can barely download WordPress and get it to work so I can’t listen to the song right now. However, I will as soon as I’m able to do so and I hope you write about pans life! We had an amazing relationship with our goose Aspen (which I wrote about on my blog). Birds are so unique. I’m so sorry for your loss.

Thank you, LaShelle, for leaving such a lovely comment. Pan was just a regular little bird, but he and a few other canaries that came before him taught us to appreciate the small things. I will write about his adventures very soon.
I visited your lovely blog but I wasn’t able to leave a comment or like. This happens from time to time. I’ll have to reboot and see if that fixes my problem.
