I don't think I can remain blue for long. There's a double meaning in that.

Well, being the jazz fan that you are, nothing wrong with being kind of blue.   :D

Thank you, thank you....I'm here all week.

For full disclosure:

That fry pan of mine I am holding contains 4 egg whites (1 point) and 2 oz. Boar's Head 42% lower sodium branded deluxe ham (1 point).  My drinking tin is coffee with 2 tbsp. of half and half and a 1 tbsp. of C&H Pure Cane Sugar (2 points all mixed).

No - eventually you'll go green. :)

I think I just witnessed MI go through four different photos of Tippett during the last fifteen minutes. Dave has met his match, or dare I say, his successor!

:P I've finally settled on one...

How do you like this one, Nav? I cropped the picture from the original which quite large.

Just for today....Herbert von Karajan, the greatest! ;D

Ten thumbs

Having finally got around to it, my first choice was accidental - just something to do with music making. Still, she may be playing her mandolin with ten thumbs, you never know and Morisot can't tell us. :)
A day may be a destiny; for life
Lives in but little—but that little teems
With some one chance, the balance of all time:
A look—a word—and we are wholly changed.

;D

Jokes aside, Karajan certainly is amazing. I am absolutely loving his Ring Cycle at the moment, extremely passionate and powerfully expressive performances!

So yes, happy birthday, Karajan!

Zurück vom Karajan! :D

Well, Bernstein was certainly amazing, superb....but Karajan was absolutely a genius, I haven't got enough words to describe his musical greatness!

I don't think Karajan was a genius at all. I think the term genius should be used sparingly. Wagner a genius? Yes, I think so. Do you honestly think Karajan occupies the same kind of thought Wagner did? I think Bernstein had more know-how and was more versatile than Karajan but I wouldn't even call Bernstein a genius either because he simply wasn't. He was highly intelligent and a knowledgeable musician, but no genius. Let's reserve this word when it can actually be applied correctly.
