Yeah, they do. I'm also partial to sliced English cucumber for the same reason. Thumbs up!- gord

Yup, were about in the same state of weather up here in Prince George. Time to dust off the .22 and go for some bunnies for the pot . . . they're real easy to see when there is no snow and the bunnies are changing color :LOL: Pic is nicely done!- gord

Changeup Day. Breaking the pattern. All smallish-medium bowls that'll give me an hour if I want. On the left is my Ropp J16, dedicated to Mad Fiddler. Looking forward to a great morning smoke. In the middle is my meer miniature, which is fully broken in. Afternoon aromatic as a changeup. Soft...- gord

If you want a different kind of visual for the Gerswhin, here's a Symphonic Performance of the same Catfish Row from Europe - love this one!! Listen to both if you like this stuff! Just click on the link to YouTube. The concertmaster is pretty square, however, imho!- gord

Today's Crossover - George Gershwin, Suite from Porgy and Bess "Catfish Row." Believe it, many symphony musicians are expert jazzers. especially in the brass section. Here's a great performance by the Cincinnati Pops orchestra, with some fantastic period photographs of Gershwin and New York...- gord

Love that old push button Houton (?) job. I have a friend who collects and repairs old radios and tv's . . . he's given me a couple of castoffs and I do have a crank job as well. :)- gord

Not smoking anything right now - final day of my last "break in" session madness. But here's the lineup for tomorrow, as I'll be back to the pipe after the 3 day hiatus. First up, on the left, is my morning smoke. The "Acorn" McQueen miniature. It has taken to a particular tobacco, one of...- gord

Today's Classical Selection - I like to keep track of what is happening in the student field. This is Elliot Sloss, a student at Curtis, opening a recital with the Bach Unaccompanied Suite for Cello, really a fine performance which gets better and better as he warms into the program. He's at a...- gord

Looks like a great site with a ton of variety. I do have a SW Radio stored in my basement somewhere. Might resurrect it and give it a dial. Never was a radio guy, but never was afraid to experiment, either.- gord

As a post script, I checked out her discography - she is obviously thinking in the same terms I said above . . . . she has recorded the Wagner "Wesendonck Lieder" at least twice. That's prep for a stint as a Valkerie or Brunhilde in the Ring. It's a long road but she certainly has the tools.- gord

What Are You Listening To? - October, 2024
Well, I did listen to "Carmen" today. As mentioned above I chose a decent performance with French subtitles because I'm semi-able to read some French. Having played the opera twice, I sort of new it too, but that was quite a while ago. The three highlights were a very strong Carmen, who played...- gord

As far as opera is concerned, when I indulge it's usually Wagner, Mozart and Italian Renaissance masterpieces such as Monteverdi's "L'Orfeo" and the "Coronation of Poppea." However, Verdi nailed it with "Otello" which is in my top 10 of opera favourites, and I think is Verdi's masterpiece...- gord

About to settle in for a 2 1/2 hour blast of Carmen for World Opera Day. I had a 4 hour thing in my head for Carmen because when we played it, there were two intermissions and a warmup included for the orchestra and cast. So 4+ hours it was. But the recordings are all around 2 1/2 hours give or...- gord
