About a week or two ago, I got an urge to hear the title song from the play Man of La Mancha, and listened to it on YouTube. Over the weekend I heard on NPR an extended and informative review given by the BBC of the original work by Cervantes. A few weeks ago I posted a question on Fluther about the song Send in the Clowns. About two weeks later, the song’s writer, Steven Sondheim, passed away.

I am a strict materialist and do not attach any significance to any of this, but this kind of thing happens a few times every year. Do you have such experiences?
