Well OK, most of the music tonight was of the rockin' or alternative nature and yes, there was and still is a tad of alcomahol knocking about.
BUT
We am listening to OPERA!
No, you twaddle heeeeded lump monsters - not a spoken word albumn by Opera Whinfrey, she of the trash "I'm so guilty I is shaggin my mothers sheep" tv show (sic)
Opera - that there stuff sung in an strange tongue.
So far we have had Carmen (actually went past the ciggie factory where she worked in the opera on a day trip from Portugal) and at the moment we are listening to Mahler - yep I know it's not opera but you need a break from all those "spanish" people singing in French, and we are now having a bit of the old Offenbach, as you do.
tales of Hoffman I suspect. Well I say suspect. That is what Shipscook told me we are about to hear.
Ya see, music is like food - you need to try and taste and enjoy new things. Not that Clasical music is new to me or S&F. But being rock monsters in the most part, you need a bit of "palette clensing" from time to time.
As long as you wash your ears out with good music of course.
If this makes any sense to anybody - they win a virtual Maclaren F1 in the colour of their choice.
Eeeep.
