I'm back from opening night. It was a fun night - strange audience and strange show, but more about that later. For now, I must unwind - may I just say that I think this day entered the top five posting days - I have to check, but I'd be surprised if it hadn't.

I Love Accordions, incidentally, is by the Bell Accordion Symphony, "a popular accordion orchestra which is in great demand for concert and TV appearances. Although this amazing group consists of 21 boys and girls whose average age is 12 years, they perform with a virtuosity equalled by few, if any, other musical groups."

I actually took accordion lessons when I was about seven or eight years old. I think my parents sold my accordion in a garage sale 15 or so years ago. Anyway, about eight or ten years ago, I played Jacquot in a local production of Carnival and at the top of the show, played the melody line of "Love Makes the World Go Round" on a borrowed, beautiful mother-of-pearl accordion.

Just had to share.

I dont play the accordion. I associate that with Lawrence Welk and Myron Floren...

I do play the tinwhistle and the bodhran.

Some of us had quite the chit chat tonight with Jane....

George · « **Reply #458 on:** January 13, 2006, 11:59:19 PM »

There is also a live chat page, but we haven't done that in quite a while.

DakotaCelt · « **Reply #459 on:** January 14, 2006, 12:03:15 AM »

that would be cool sometime.... Perhaps BK coudl invite the cast of Deceit to chat also?

I am anxiously awaiting also....

I enjoy plays and good dramatic presentations. Always have. I am a diehard Shakespeare fan.

I'm not particularly interested in Shakespeare, but I have seen several productions that I've thoroughly enjoyed.

One of my favorite musical adaptations is one that was written and performed here in Olympia, WA called A Rock 'n' Roll Twelfth Night (with apologies to William Shakespeare). I highly recommend checking it out. They have clips from their recording!

I realize... I have gotten into some interesting discussion on the state of very genres on the telly and what is going on in our culture both positive and negative aspects of it. More or less the good, the bad and the ugly.

When I was in college (Western Washington University, Bellingham, class of 1989), they did a very good production of "Macbeth." The only problem was the guy who playing Macduff sounded and acted exactly like John Wayne! I can't believe the director let him. I don't know if the actor sounded and acted like John Wayne in real life (I didn't know him), but it was a total distraction.

Interesting site. .... It is a curious interpretation. I have booked for future study.. I did see a production of A Midsummer's Night Dream taht had a very Minnesota touch. It was great what they did with it. As much as Shakespearean drama is steeped in tradition, its message lends to the modernity we live in.

I also enjoy Richard Sheridan Brinsley. Love Oklahoma, Grease, Cole Porter musicals. I also enjoy the Gilbert and Sullivan operattas.

I do have a bone to pick with Bizet and it is Matt Ashford's fault <G>

Discussions are fine...and really, pretty much anything goes here, so don't feel you're not "allowed" to post one-word posts.

Just be polite. No flames. That's probably the only (unwritten) request.

I have seen the McScottish play up in Winnepeg with Keanu Reeves. He was okay as McBeth but he does not commend a really great presence that the role demands.

NDSU just presented A Mid Summers night dream and it went well. They are presenting the penny opera this year.
