This has been another great post from you Jung. You and every one else have posted a lot of great videos.
Ok, Howard and Joe, I’ll start a new topic in general discussion about some of my favourite Dylan songs

Sleepy Jung, I know you are zzzz ing — To Answer your questions about Be Bob Deluxe.
They were a band in the early 70,s. They were ahead of their time. Bill Nelson the founder and writer and lead guitar. Everybody says this guitarist is great. Bill was and never got the credit.
He wrote is song called Honeymoon On Mars. Had this line in the song. Flash Gordon’s ghost will never die. I was hooked from that point. Not sure if you know who Flash Gordon was. The original actor was Buster Crabbe. Science Fiction. Here’s a sample you don’t have to watch the whole thing.

Hey Jung – It was nice see John on piano again. Thanks for sending that to me.

I’m surprised they’re not a band I can recall Joe. I thought I knew it all. “The Old Grey Whistle Test” was a great show and Be Bop Deluxe are not bad at all. With those outrageous outfits though, they definitely belong in my “Did The Seventies Really Happen?” Topic.

I got this skeletonized pocket watch when I turned 50, in a funny way perhaps to remind me I’m getting old! 🙂 Having an engineering background seeing mechanical guts of watches, pens etc fascinates me.
Sometimes I just enjoy watching the beautiful movement of this watch with a magnifying glass for a long time, and it reminds me of the passing of time. As per the description I provided below, so much intricate activity goes on inside to keep time, the same way so much happens around us with each passing second. Looking at this watch for a minute ticking away and the balance wheel and gears moving, It all gives me an appreciation of time, how beautiful it can be, how precious it is, and how our world around us moves along every second in the same way. The beauty of a second!
A mechanical watch movement operates at approx 21,600 beats per hour, which means it ticks about 5 to 6 times a second. The balance wheel which is the heart of the watch movement oscillates in circular motion 5 to 6 times a second slowly releasing the energy stored in the hand wound main spring. This slow regulated release of energy is what keeps consistent accurate time. The escapement and gear train, which looks like dual hammers swinging back and forth, hitting a regulated gear, acts like a brake taking energy transmitted from the mainspring through the gear train pushing equally metered energy to the balance wheel which in turn transfers energy through the dial train to the hands of the watch.

Thanks David, I’m glad you enjoyed it. I thought that was a brilliant project “beauty of a second”. Really shows how a moment as short as it is, can be precious and timeless in a sense like a smile or an expression made by your cat or dog etc.Joe, yes I remember Flash Gordon and seeing some of those old black and whites, they were classics. I remember the old special effect as they show a space ship traveling with flames coming out of the back pointing up and smoke rising from it. The Be Bop videos are great, thanks for sharing them.

This one is stretching it a bit. But in a small way its about time. Maybe more about regret.
