I was going to do this same exact thing, but with the candles, black background, and red text.
We DO have standards.

Comming from a guy who definately knows about monkeys bums. What is the optimum temperature for monkey bum boiling? Is it better to boil or roast? And special stuffing you add to them EM?

Rigoletto, Pagliacci, La Boheme, Die Walkure, Salome, and Don Giovanni.
I think the Mozart is my favourite; comic operas make me laugh and laugh. In terms of the musical value though, Act 2, scene 4 of Die Walkure (I think it's scene 4... when Brunnhilde is confronting Siegmund all "yo check out Valhalla") really stands out in my mind as being my favourite selection. I think Wagner does such a fantastic job of using the music to really convey the moods of the characters, and to instill those moods in the listener as well.
And I can't stand Wagner.
All this being said, opera is most def not my strong point: symphonic literature is what I'm really interested in. And music history too; especially pertaining to the romantic and modern eras.
Oh yeah, you're right, I am a music major. In a school with a very strong opera program too. I can't imagine how many people are going to be freaking out tomorrow about Pavarotti. Bah! Dramatic singers.....

Well on an unrelated note Lungfish, Cary Grant, real name Alec Leach was born about three roads away from where I live now.
He may be the only famous person from my city.
NO!! John Cleese was born only 20 miles or so from where I live too.
-------
Nice. I wanna say it was Archibald Leach...could be wrong...usually am.
Like Cary Grant quite a bit. Love John Cleese.

Hard to say. Lucia, maybe. Tosca, maybe. La Traviata, maybe. Not all that knowledgeable, but I like what I like. Pretty mainstream, I know, and I suspect you're a music major.
Certain arias send chills up my spine every time I hear them: E lucevan le stelle (!!!!!!!!); Una furtiva lagrima, Recitar mentre presso (Pagliaci). There's a fantastic duet and trio and the end of Der Rosenkavalier.
I've probably massacred the spellings.
As you might guess, I'm a fan of the tenors. My all time favorite would be Beniamino Gigli. Voice of an angel. Simply stunning.
I saw Placido Domingo put on a benefit concert for the Phoenix Symphony several years back. Wonderful. Only time I ever drank coffee at a concert.
I'm almost asleep.

+2 post about Cheers.
A good friend of mine went to grade school with Ted Danson. He said they used to call him Frankenstein.
Danson's from Arizona. Still has a home here.

I dunno.... think it was something to do about Norm and Cliff from cheers morphing into one being.
I miss the days when Cheers was on regularly, bitching about who was better Shelley Long or Kirstey Alley.
That truly was a great cast. ......If I had any posting ability I would do a tribute to Cheers.

I have heard of that place, Arizona? Sure they were trying to redevelop heritage of apaches.

Dom Delo...Deloise? Burt Reynold's friend, methinks.
I'll be getting back to the woods here pretty soon, EI. That pic was taken during a four-night camping trip just outside the White Mountain Apache Indian Reservation. They prefer to be called Cibecue Apache.
Apaches are badasses.

Earth Band
EI is welcome to my ranch anytime. It's more of a yard, maybe a tenth of an acre. Big enough for a barbecue. The wife doesn't really like my guests, though. She tells me this after I just let a guy live here for nearly a year. He bought me lots of beer, though. You can come, too, if you buy me lots of beer...and some movies to watch.

Steve Miller...and Mannfred Mann's Earthband...and Kansas. It's all coming back to me.
In other news, I've learned tonight the Budweiser Select, while not a good beer, is better warm than cold. Interesting.

When I was a boy of a mere eight years of age, I finally got my own room. My oldest brother, you see, the Republican, got married. It didn't last. But they had a fine son we call Chuck.
Anyway, when I was a young boy, before I lived in Scotland (yeah...that's right...suck it, people), I got my own room. My next older brother's room, under the new circumstances, was two doors down from me. His room was full of stacks of porno mags and he kept his door locked at all times. I used to lie in my bed, two doors down from his, and listen to the opera music that he blasted nearly every night inside his room. (Some nights he played Steve Miller.)
I fell in love with opera in those days, and I still love it. My brother, meanwhile, has been in Australia for 30 years. He wants me to come to Sydney next Spring and learn how to perform x-ray microprobe analysis and some shit.
My sister, whose room was in between the rooms of my brother and me, mainly played The Beatles. I fell in love with The Beatles, too. She didn't have any porn, but she had a subscription to Newsweek.
My little brother couldn't read at this time.
Our dog's name was Duke.
My sister is awesome.
