Songs of Doors and Windows (Tribute to Doors Open)

 

Happy weekend to everyone! The final weekend of May in Toronto has traditionally been the one devoted to the Doors Open event. To explain, a lot of facilities in our city which don't usually open to the public generously open their doors for a couple of days for people to explore. I won't be attending this year because of other stuff but I did go to a few places last year in 2022 including the Thomas Fisher Rare Book Library at the University of Toronto as you can see in the thumbnail above. It kinda has that Enterprise-D Main Engineering under mood lighting, doesn't it? Geordi, I'll have a bottle of the Chateau Picard Red, please.

So, I was kinda thinking that out of my personal sense of whimsy that occasionally pops up like gas after having too many beans, I can put up a quintet of tunes whose titles have something to do with portals. To be honest, most of them are doors while I have one window. One of them has also garnered a lot of fame recently, too.
