I've listened to Roberta and I'm thinking about playing Benjamin Britten's Paul Bunyan now.

Well, I've got to get back to slaving over a hot keyboard.

Synth strings galore. Gotta love it.

The saving grace in this particular task is that the music itself (She Loves Me) is so damned nice.

Does Prosecco taste as good as champagne? I like the idea of less alcohol, then I could drink more.

Prosecco has a few different flavors, but all are sparkling, like Champagne. They're also affordable, with some available for under $10 a bottle. Look at the labeling. Some are sweet (extra dry), some slightly sweet (dry) or dry (brut). Some are also softer and more delicate than others. I love them. You can also make a nice cocktail with them, an Aperol spritzer, with Aperol, which is like Campari, mixed with a sweeter prosecco.

Thank you for the anniversary wishes, DRs John G, JRand, ChasSmith, Elmore, FJL, Jane!

JRand: Bitters are herbal concoctions used to add flavors to cocktails. As ChasSmith pointed out, the traditional martini recipe calls for a couple of dashes of orange bitters in with the gin and vermouth. And Manhattans as well as Old Fashioneds use them.

Angosturra and Peychaud's are the two traditional varieties. But I also have chocolate, mint, celery, rhubarb, cherry, blood orange, peach and grapefruit bitters to play around with. You use them sparingly because they are strong, condensed flavors and can easily override whatever you use them in.

TOD: in high school I used to study a lot so I did well in most subjects. I think the ones I did best at were: English, French, math. i think I got good grades in chemistry and physics but mostly because i studied the material, not because I was really that good at those subjects.

There are only a few pieces of music that completely reduce me to rubble, but Benjamin Britten’s glorious PAUL BUNYAN, in conjunction with W.H Auden’s text, leaves me a blubbering wreck.
I just cried like a baby, listening to Philip Brunelle’s wonderful recording.

Seventy years later, and it still possesses a punch:
From a Pressure group that says I am the Constitution,
From those who say Patriotism and mean Prosecution,
From a Tolerance that is really inertia and disillusion:
Save animals and men.

It is so cold out today. I went to Target (which i haven't been to in a while). Since they announced this week that all of the Target's in Canada are closing ... well it was completely packed.

Try it with a simple piano accompaniment. Let the singer and the song do the magic.

Of course. But that's not what they're paying me the BIG BUCKS to do.

Mark Lamos' production for City Opera was one of the greatest things I've ever seen. He had the singers playing the the cat and dog on roller skates, the chorus of Old Trees were in bluish-gray rocking chairs holding small evergreens, as I recall. It was so imaginative and magical. I think I wept through every performance except for the performance that was broadcast and screwed up by the PBS producer.
