Singing along?

Man...with as many younger siblings as I've got, it's gonna be another five years or so before I can watch that again, I'm afraid. It gets old after a couple hundred viewings.

Usually I'm pouring out batter from the big pyrex bowl with one hand and guiding it out with a spatula in the other hand.

DO try to rent or buy one of the Wallace and Gromit DVD's. They are truly funny!

Clare and I saw the Tallis Scholars in concert last year in Boston. It was just wonderful; they are so talented!

When we're finished opening gifts on Christmas morning, I fire up the CD player and put in the Messiah. I sing the alto part while I'm cooking dinner.;o)

We had a nice set growing up, but none of us have it on CD.

I know some of the tenor parts, due to choir at the college and because that's the part Mom learned and used to sing. I know, we're weird...

Heh, when we're having Festival Choir practice, I sometimes have to sing along with the tenors if there aren't enough of them at that practice. Thankfully, another tenor showed up at the last practice so I didn't have to learn the whole tenor part.

Reminds me of the old country song that talked about "Daddy sang bass, Mama sang tenor."

I really enjoyed singing tenor with the college choir. You know, since the choir I sang for awhile with in high school was all girls, I have a feeling a lot of the "alto" parts they gave us were actually tenor. I was surprised when I got to the college and found I really couldn't sing much of the alto parts. Too high fer me.

Believe it or not, I've only seen it maybe 4 or 5 times in my whole life.

Having Hispanic parents kind of stunts your classic-film-growth.

The first time I saw Casablanca was at Entmoot!

*stretch* I'm beat. Off to bed!

And good luck with Mr. Beepy tonight. :-/

*shudder*

All done, then?

I'm just hopin' the stuff I ordered for my brother on-line gets here Monday. If not...it's likely to be late, since I gotta send it out again.

I know I could have just had it sent to him, but...I didn't.

Yeah, that was basically what I was figuring.

That and I don't have their address.

Seeing as how we were discussing Mr T the other day, I figured I should pass this on. Got posted in the singles thread - Mr T's tribute to mothers. It's almost in the realm of the Ballad of Bilbo Baggins. But nothing is quite THAT bad.
