This one didn't have to be reduced as much to get it under the size limit.

Thank you. It shows how we could easily have mistaken it for a log.

Taking another step of progress in my Fellini tour, I just watched Spirits of the Dead which I had only seen once, some years ago, in a poor DVD transfer. Thankfully, the Arrow Blu-ray is beautiful -- once you make sure you've got your preferred combination of language tracks and subtitles (or lack thereof) loaded. (If you accidentally load the all-French version, you get the horrid old DVD transfer.)

Cutting to the chase, Fellini's Toby Dammit segment with Terence Stamp is just incredible.

I just turned the clock radio on to set a wake-up time for tomorrow and one of the local FM stations is playing a live performance recording of The Merry Widow. A nice little treat, but it also reminds me:

Aren't we in Die Fledermaus season, what with New Year's Eve and all? I wonder why we're not getting a performance of that on the MET streams. Or was there never a telecast of it? There must have been.

Listening to a terrific opera by Hans Krasa, another Entartete album from Decca - really like it a lot. And yet another composer murdered by the Nazis - forty-four years old.

DR George, your mother was really lucky yesterday. I'm happy the thief was caught.

Thanks, Larry! I think everyone was happy at that!

Except the thief of course

I started to watch The Year 2020 on ABC and realized that the year was so bad, I don't need to relive any of it.

John G. · « **Reply #103 on:** December 29, 2020, 07:33:03 PM »

That is, on a national level.

So, I think I'm going to go read for a while. I'm almost halfway through Greenwillow and am mostly charmed by it. Some of it can get a little twee.

George · « **Reply #105 on:** December 29, 2020, 07:41:42 PM »

I'm off, too, but I'm going to Fred Meyer to get a new battery for my mom's thermometer. Isn't that just thrilling??

Be back later.

Apparently, the ENO video of Street Scene is from 1993 and was a re-do of their 1989 production with an entirely different cast and I must say I prefer it vocally in almost every instance to what I heard on the JAY recording.

Mostly charmed tempted me to read it. My libraries don't have it and I am not tempted enough to buy it.

They damn well better catch the thief, they have more cameras in that place than Cecil B. DeMille had for THE TEN COMMANDMENTS.
