[Publius]

As a classical music fanatic, I have a number of rather strange customs. On New Years Eve, I listen to Orff's "Carmina Burana" (1975 Previn recording) and the Beethoven Ninth Symphony (1987 Norrington recording with period instruments).

At midnight, I open up some smoked salmon, cut up some crusty French bread and drink some brut champagne.

On New Years Day, I put on my DVD of the Metropolitan Opera production of Wagner's "Die Meistersinger", all five hours of it.

Like I said, I'm strange.

Sounds perfectly normal to me, Publius! Enjoy Die Meistersinger!

Lamh Foistenach Abu!

Happy New Year, Publius!! Hope you enjoyed your classical music...sounds like a lovely way to spend the evening, and not strange.
