Well, you've read the notes, the notes had a little Wozzeck and a little Lulu, and now it is time for you to post until the lulu cows come home.

I was just about to post a Page Six Once on This Island Dance yesterday, but the day got locked.

So, here's a Page One Dance instead!

A cross between a croissant and a mullet?

Wow - went to YouTube to educate myself about the Flexatone, and ended up going down a whole percussion rabbit hole.

As one does.

If Lulu opened on Broadway, the advertising campaign could be: LULU'S BACK IN TOWN!

I like that cover, DR George.

Are the vinyl discs really orange?

Or is that just a coconut?

I think the Moderna vaccine curse bitchslapped me last night. I was awake half the night with intense, horrible leg cramps that no drug would alleviate.

Minnesota Department of Transportation had a contest to name new state snow plows. Readers submitted names, and the top names got voted on. After over 120,000 votes were tallied, here are the winners:

The CPAC 2021 singer of the national anthem, I gather, has taken down her YouTube channel because of the hate and advice of the "don't think you can sing" sort.

Sorry to hear this, DR elmore3003. Hoping the discomfort is temporary toward the permanent gain.

That last post was about your legs. Not about the singing. Although I guess that could apply, too.

BK, before Cerha (?) completed the third act of LULU, the missing section and her death by Jack the Ripper were staged in pantomine while the section of her escape from prison with Geschwitz to London often used filmed sequences accompanied by Berg's orchestra suite from the opera.

I've had vocal scores for Wozzeck and Lulu for years, but every time I put on a recording and started following the score, I had major anxiety attacks - how do you know if someone plays a wrong note? how does a singer find a pitch - that after about fifteen minutes I turned the opera off. In the late 1990s my late friend Dale Kugel, former librarian of Tams-Witmark, invited me to a dress rehearsal of Wozzeck at the Met.

It was one of the most enlightening afternoons of my life. The production and performers was wonderful, and the music was glorious. Removing myself from the analysis of the notes, I could simply enjoy the music for what it was, and i had never realized what beautiful score it is.

I have a delivery of groceries arriving early this afternoon, but I think I will spend most of the day lolling about with the cats.

The kitties are happy this morning. They got a new litter box.

When I take the recyclables to the basement, I will wash out the old one and leave it in the garbage. Then I will lie down with the cats until the grocery delivery arrives.
