I thought this appropriate for today.



"Innsbruck, ich mus dich lassen," Heinrich Isaac (1450–1517)

[font size="1"](updated lyrics)[font size="2"]
Innsbruck DU, I must leave you;
I will go my way
to foreign land(s) (an)other website(s).
My joy has been taken away from me,
that I cannot achieve
where I am in misery.

I must now bear great sorrow
that I can only share
with my dearest in General Discussion.
Oh love DU, hold poor me
(and) in your heart compassion
that I must part from you.

My consolation: above all other women websites,
I will forever be yours,
always faithful, in true honor.
And now, may God Net Neutrality protect you,
keep you in perfect virtue tubes,
until I shall return.

I played gamba in an early music consort while in college and we performed this piece with the chamber choir.

It's a sad song , but one of my favorites!

That song has been in my brain since the 1970s.

Here's to those among us who can capture true human emotions and feelings*
