Well, while I was doing kitty cleanup, the recording moved on to Part 2 of Messiah. I guess I'll listen to all of it.

I enjoyed MR BK's take on WEST SIDE STORY.  I agree with all he wrote.

And he put his finger exactly on what I missed and didn't even realize it - the humor.   Gloria and Velma's lines have disappeared......

And what he said about AMERICA, I have already said in so many words.......

Anyway - it is still recommended with caveats.....but worth seeing....for the SCORE and the SINGING.

I started perusing Facebook using the Opera Browser and it works....with a glitch now and then....so maybe it's something about my Firefox browser that is the problem.

Sunday morning greetings!  Richard is “at” church via Zoom.  The virtual realm does Amanda’s piano playing no justice whatsoever.

I could not been more exhausted last night and still been able to walk, but today fortunately was able to be a serious ME day, and so it is.

It was raining too hard for me to want to tote my keyboard and all out of the theater last night, so I opted to just pack it all up and leave it for today. In a couple of hours I'll enjoy a leisurely drive up there to retrieve it.

My preference is for the infamous PDQ Bach's bargaincountertenor.

Oh man, just hearing a single reference like that makes me want to take all the albums out. How many years - no, decades - has it been since I've listened to them?

I've moved from Messiah to Danny Kaye's wonderful album of Hans Christian Andersen and The Court Jester.

From DR George:
Quote
My sister's boyfriend saw this kind of bumper sticker on a car today:

I had a co-worker that gave me rides home from work.  There was a slightly steep ramp leading out of the garage, and with everyone leaving at once it could get congested.  She would get frustrated with the cars that would pull up right behind her and call them idiots (to me, not them-lol).  Until then I never realized it was a problem.

Speaking of idiots who get too close to the cars in front of them, we had one a couple of days ago.  This woman seemed to think tailgating on a mountain road was a safe thing to to  >:(

The first one is more likely to get the message across, though Keith tapping the breaks and slowing down only worked for half a minute with the idiot lady.

Sometimes I just take my foot off the gas and slow down just a bit until the idiot behind me passes me.  I, of course, let them.

I'm up, I'm up - about seven hours of sleep and I'll shortly be on my way to storage, putting gas in the motor car, the mail place, the Apple Store and then home. Some ME day.

No passing lane for miles and miles.  Once she passed us she did the same tailgating to every single car she was behind.  Over an hour later she turned off, but of course she never got where she was going any faster than had she driven safely.

OK, back to the video of Handel's Messiah. The countertenor could use help with more than his diction. His shirt comes open under his bowtie. Looks really weird.

The new Britney Spears musical is trying out in Washington. Emily Skinner is Cinderella’s wicked stepmother.
