ommi = mom.
interesting how it's almost the same word in every language.

he sings about how much he misses her bread, her coffee. Swap coffee with tea and that's my mom. I think about her every day

Hope you are having a lovely #SpringSaturday! Here's "In Full Bloom," a quiet little piece featuring subdued piano and slowly evolving pads; it's an homage to the magnolias, dogwood, daffodils, and all the other flowers that are just starting to show their faces outside!

effervescent!
lovin' the new track by SfaGB, featuring the talented @ddimuro.bsky.social "getting in the way" and keepin' it groovy. It's rhythmicalluy cool and easy on the ears with a dash of 70's retro vibe in there somehow.☮️ Love the quick-cut style tempo and key changes!
Very diggable!🎷

I worked at Big Tomato Pizza my first year of College - maybe 1983. The owners were an immigrant family. Two brothers.
Iranian. Jewish. They were super nice and really great to the employees. They threw us a Christmas party. Thanksgiving too. I went swimming at grandpa's house. I hope they are OK.

dancing on the tabletop
covered up with the Easter feast
dancing for the fishermen
from the very large right to the least
dancing for the slow release
first the boy and then the beast

hard to watch.

Moddi does a gorgeous cover of this song by Kate Bush, which was blacklisted by BBC in 1991.
