Wetzel's Pretzels.

I was going to make a joke but there is apparently no other word that rhymes with Wetzel's.

I'm guessing you forgot the word "schmetzels." It's used just before the "Hasenpfeffer, Inc." line in the Laverne and Shirley theme song.

I'm listening to Donald Feltham's latest radio show.

George · « **Reply #126 on:** January 03, 2021, 09:52:49 PM »

Lots of good music.

I've written six new pages - and after the notes I'll try to write another four to six but I have to be in bed by two at the latest.

Listening to the delightful children's opera, Brundibar - this is in English, a version by Tony Kushner. I'd like to hear it in its original language. It's only about a half-hour in length, but Hans Krasa's music is very sweet and catchy. The conductor is Gerard Schwarz, but the cast, who has to deliver a lot of rhymed couplets as well as singing - they're okay in the singing stuff, but the talking part is pretty amateur. I'll see what else is available. Then at some point I'll move onto Saint-Saens' Samson and Delila.

Really enjoyed Jimmy Carter, Rock & Roll President. The documentary dealt with Carter's love of music, which included jazz, country and classical in addition to rock. But it did showcase the Allman Brothers, Jimmy Buffett and others who raised money for Carter's first campaign. Carter was the one who started concerts on the White House lawn with people like Dizzy Gillespie, Dexter Gordon, Herbie Hancock and more playing. Willie Nelson, Bob Dylan, Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood, Bono, Buffett, Allman and more were among the talking heads. A few read some of Carter's poetry.

Reagan appears for less than 2 minutes, and in that time, you can see the seeds of Trumpism and division being sown. I had forgotten what an ugly, soulless horror that man really was, not to mention senile.

Thanks for the details. I didn't know what it was about.

The DH is reading a book about Kay Thompson, and due to a mention there, requested that we view Vincente Minnelli's last film, A Matter of Time from 1975. It stars Liza Minnelli and Ingrid Bergman. There is some dizzying Rome sightseeing and a bit of Liza singing. Otherwise, it is pretty awful.

I've read it. It's by my friend Sam Irvin, who sorta dances around the question of her sexuality. I was mostly interested in her interest in Eloise and Hillary Knight.

Kay’s sexuality or Liza’s? I would hope that Liza would have better taste in women than she does with men.

DR TCB I was thinking about you and wondering if you felt the need for oxygen. It sounds as if you don't. Vibes you never need it.

Unfortunately, I am very much in need of oxygen. That is why I have almost called the fire department on several nights.

Recovery vibes for DR Jennifer.

It looks like his dance belt had a blowout.

John, are you still with us?

TCB · « **Reply #138 on:** January 03, 2021, 11:43:05 PM »

And George, are you not?

TCB · « **Reply #139 on:** January 03, 2021, 11:53:00 PM »

I guess it is “no” to both questions.
