Ron has very interesting dreams

[vixmom]

Apparently, the other day I was dreaming of being at work.

Vixdad said I was talking about title clearance issues.

He tried rubbing my back to help settle me down.

[vixmom]

I told him to stop because I was on the phone.

[vixmom]

I can do it, DR slingslaw!

May the 4th be with you!

And also with you!

[vixmom]

I have never seen the Kentucky Derby

[vixmom]

Today Vixdad and I are going to visit friends in their newly rebuilt home, ( it had burned down)

[vixmom]

Another couple will also be there who we have not seen since before the pandemic

[vixmom]

I am currently assembling some photographs of our grandson to show them

[vixmom]

I’ve whittled it down to about 837 or so

[Freddie]

Ron has very interesting dreams

And they're quite entertaining!

[Freddie]

I’ve whittled it down to about 837 or so

That must have been a tough whittling down!

[ChasSmith]

I’ve whittled it down to about 837 or so

But with only 837, how will you fill up the rest of the time?

 I saw Paul Simon once in concert.  Amazing. It was around the time of Rhythm of the Saints. He played everything practically over four hours. The first half was mostly solo stuff with a large band. The second half was stuff he could sing with the group he recorded Graceland with, Ladysmith Black Mambazo.

I have never seen the Kentucky Derby

I have. Once only. It was fun. Hot day. My horse came in second.

Simon apparently has a place up the road in Wimberley, where part of the documentary was filmed. I need to give the new album Seven Psalms another chance.

[Ron Pulliam]

I can do it, DR slingslaw!

May the 4th be with you!

Well, Freddie, somebody had to say it with respect!!

[Ron Pulliam]

And thank you, DR vixmom, for wishing the 4th be with me.

Today is the annual Peach Festival in the town of Johnston SC.

Most of town will be closed off to traffic with much of the side streets clogged with parked cars.  In years past, even the post office parking was affected.  The town is rather small and folks find that there are booths set up all long the town's three blocks (3 count 'em 3).

We have had glorious weather the past couple of weeks, so today is a bit of a disappointment in that it rained buckets overnight, and scattered showers are predicted throughout the day.

Still, the show WILL go on.

Apropos of nothing being discussed:

I was going through youtube this morning seeking out some Puccini performances to enjoy.

Funny thing, though, is that when you get toward the bottom of a page, they often throw in other selections you may enjoy.

I have no idea what this had to do with Puccini, but I watched it and was moved quite a bit by it.

This happened at the Royal Albert Hall during a BBC Proms scheduled concert.  It was when the Queen died, and how it was handled.

The piece that followed God Save the Queen is my favorite piece of classical music:  Movement Nine of Elgar's "Enigma Variations", also known as "Nimrod".

Well there’s still the 5 hour video

Since you're doing that, I'll throw in a shameless plug for our Bohème Act II video. I'm the guy in the beige jacket crossing left to right at the start. My wife is in the blue coat with a scarf center stage at the start. The production was set in contemporary (2018) San Francisco:

It's fun seeing everyone's Paul Simon choices!

[singdaw]

Thanks for sharing the opera clip, DR MichaelG!

[singdaw]

And enjoyed your clip also, DR Ron Pulliam.
