From what I can tell the studies have shown mixed results with some saying yes, more saying no.

DR ELMORE I have a grab bar.....in the shower.....it is a suction thing and now and then in the middle of the night it falls off the wall and scares the hell out of me. But it is useful.

DR Jrand71, I just took a bath for two reasons: to test this new grab bar and I really needed one!

He put us through our paces.

He also told us that one of the instructors at that studio, who worked three jobs, died of covid a few weeks ago.

It's gratifying to hear that BK is enjoying the Steber/Tucker/Met recordings. Those are a treasure, and her voice indeed was something very special.

For me, both of their singing styles are right up there. I was privileged to have seen and heard Tucker in two of our concert opera productions in Cleveland and one at Meadow Brook, and Steber on any number of occasions. I wish I could have those days back.

I love that Cosi Fan Tutte recording! This was recorded about the same time as the English recording of Die Fledermaus. The new Met director Rudolf Bing had initiated several productions in English, and I'm happy that Columbia recorded them. The English production of Cosi Fan Tutte was staged by Alfred Lunt, and for the recording Roberta Peters replaced Patrice Munsel, who was under contract to RCA.

I'm up, I'm up - about nine and a half hours of very needed sleep - had I not set the alarm I suspect I would have slept twelve hours.

Getting to and from church this morning was difficult, as today is the day of the Twin Cities Marathon.

singdaw · « **Reply #45 on:** October 03, 2021, 01:20:16 PM »

I was not running.

In case you were worried about that.

But I did walk for an hour on the treadmill this morning at a very fast pace.

The DH has a temp organist job at another church, and since we are down to being a one-car family, we had to leave the house at 7:00am.

So I was up very early.

singdaw · « **Reply #50 on:** October 03, 2021, 01:22:33 PM »

Well, I did TELL you that it was not earth-shattering.

singdaw · « **Reply #51 on:** October 03, 2021, 01:22:45 PM »

But it's some posts.
