What a treat! Big ol' #55 leading the crowd in a roaring Mitch Miller-like sing-along. No, I don't think you'll find it at your local record store soon, but there's just something about the passion of live music and a thousand off-key voices that a recording can never capture, it just brought tears to my eyes. Yesterday afternoon, I finally got up the nerve to spin the entire Handel's Messiah, all 8 sides, done by the London Philharmonic Orchestra and choir. I warned the wife that I wasn't sure what this was, but it might be opera or something. Yup, sure enough, that soprano was yodeling, but at least it was English yodeling. Much to my chagrin, Sherry enjoyed it immensely and commented on it's relaxing nature. What a masterpiece! And it was a splendid, warm and relaxing way to spend the afternoon. Drifting along to the music, being carried to new heights, I could have drifted off to a nap if not for the ker-chunk, ker-chunk, opps time to flip sides. Maybe I'll break out that Barber of Seville box set.
