When I'm caught without a program, I retreat to classical music. Tonight I'd like to show off lighter and funnier pieces of classical music. Great composers had a sense of humor too.
Rossini's operas chased Handel's operas out of the opera houses of Europe, and he made a bundle on them. At age 37, he gave it all up in an act known to musical historians as the Great Renunciation. In the 1930's it was discovered that a combination of bipolar disorder and a bladder condition had taken Rossini out of the game.
Thirty years later, Rossini had surgery to fix his problem, and he returned to composing. But rather than return to opera or great works, he decided to compose short piano pieces for "third rate pianists such as myself". He collected these into several volumes titled "Sins of My Old Age".
One of these pieces is a cute little number that Respighi orchestrated decades later under the title "The Fantastic Boutique" along with other Rossisi piano pieces. Old timers will remember this number as the theme of a Sunday night show on CBS in the Fifties titled "Playhouse Theater".
Rossini: "A Little Caprice"

Aloha West Texas Rose!
I spent very little time in San Angelo but have so many memories. The Honcho was dry and so was the Blood Bank (we were called on a couple of times to donate),, there was a Blue Norther and we ran over Texas Speed Bumps occasionally heading into town to get a beer at a local watering hole with a couple of old ladies who taught us to drink it with Snap-E-Tom. Burritos so hot all you had to do is add an egg to have Huevos Rancheros, Tree Top Airlines where there wasn't a tree in sight the horizon and a dry Tom Greene County where the lights from the adjacent county's liquor stores were brighter than the stars at night deep in the Heart of Texas.
I loved it.
