Sheets and pillowcases are in the washers. This will be a long day.

DR George - saw this and thought of you.

Good morning, all.

Please pass the Pasta Papa.

I saw Ewing do Carmen at the Met around 1986. I don’t remember if that was a Sir Peter Hall production, but as soon as I get up off my lazy ass I’ll have a look. I do know the telecast and video of that production starred someone else.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #37 on:** December 18, 2020, 06:30:55 AM »

No, not Peter Hall, and Agnes Baltsa is the Carmen. The video is 1988 but I’m nearly positive it’s the production I saw Ewing in two years prior.

All this opry talk is making me nervous.

I knew Ewing as a student in school and might have accompanied a few of her voice lessons with Steber. I need to dig through some programs to see what she sang with us. I know I have her singing Geschwitz on a private recording of the Lulu Suite in which I’m playing piano in the orchestra.

DR TCB my current machine has a 40" diagonal screen.....I am going to a 50" diagonal screen or MAYBE 55" - we shall see what's on sale.

Eventually I'm going to be able to watch ATTACK OF THE 50 FOOT WOMAN and she will be life size!

Speaking of Opry, I saw a few minutes of Dolly Parton’s Coat of Many Colors last night. That was all I could stomach.

DR Jrand70, you need to transition to having a projector and a 50-foot-high screen in your back yard. Actually, make it your front yard. Yes, I believe that could increase your popularity in the neighborhood.

Good Morning. 2 1/2 days of school today. Both ending with a 15 minute sing-a-long in the parking lot of Christmas Carols requested by the pastor - that I have to lead. I tried to get out of it. So, I have the accordion here, I hope I remember how to play it - or at least fake my way through.

Well......the 55" TCL was $20 less than the Vizio 50"......so I bought the TCL.....looks nice so far.

Took about 30 minutes to set it all up, but it is going along like gangbusters.

I also bought the 3-year plan and just spent the additional $20.....
