Hi Bloggers! Do you have to share a story or a short reflection tagged with the letter “M”? For example I’ve written about MANHATTAN (read below), about Madrid or Munich, modern times and mouths, Mexico and Montenegro, mothers and motorcycles, memories and musicians, milk or moon, military or mankind, minaretts and metronoms, Metropolis or Mursi people, mosques or the Mekong river etc. – I’m sure you’ll find an own story or a short reflection tagged with “M”! Feel free to add in the comments the link to your personal interpretation of the letter “M”!!!
MANHATTAN TRANSFER
John Dos Passos (1896-1970) has tried to compose an artwork built of the stuff: MANHATTAN, – and it works like a movie script – but written in a time (1925), in which the film industry did not yet have the tremendous technical and financially possibilities available as they owe today. I hope I will experience in my lifetime, that MANHATTAN TRANSFER once is a movie – read more at Manhattan Transfer
QUESTION:
- Do you have a favorite movie? Which?
- Would you like to create an own cinema-movie / youtube video / TV-spot? Which?

I thought you were writing about the 1970s music group by the same name MANHATTAN TRANSFER!

Lots of M’s in most any language so a good choice of letter. Looking through my extensive blog files I saw this old one that I posted early on. It’s about Willie Mays, my childhood hero and the best baseball player I have ever seen. Perhaps Joe DiMaggio was smoother and a better hitter. I only saw Di Maggio play a couple of times, and that was in the Old-Timer’s games – and each time he hit a home run… But Willie Mays is remembered to me the best and the finest of them all.
