Lebewohl

"To suffer woes which Hope thinks infinite;
To forgive wrongs darker than death or night;
To defy Power, which seems omnipotent;
To love, and bear; to hope till Hope creates
From its own wreck the thing it contemplates;
Neither to change, nor falter, nor repent;
This, like thy glory, Titan, is to be
Good, great and joyous, beautiful and free;
This is alone Life, Joy, Empire, and Victory"

If this is part of his comeback campaign.....it's actually not so bad as far as getting attention.

I think Grey's Anatomy should be retitled "Doctors Yelling At Each Other."

Schwarzkopf does Bist Du Bei Mir

In rehearsal the tempo has just gotten faster and faster since I first arranged it for VoW well over a year ago. Not everybody has Elizabeth Schwarzkopf's breath control, and it's musicologically correct to repeat both the A and B sections. But the inspiration behind it still sounds as beautiful as the time I first heard it as a college senior. It's the only recording of this piece I've ever heard that made it sound truly beautiful. In everybody else's hands, this piece sounds trite and not particularly memorable. But with Schwarzkopf and Moore, it's pure magic.

Doug: I'm a great coach and I keep things loose and fun. (calls on kid with hand up) Yes?

Kid: You're fat.




.....not a great show, but it's always on after Raymond. Even in syndication.
