GOOD NIGHT! TIGERHAWK...CANNOLI IN THE MORNING??

YOU STAY WARM, TOO!!! SO FAR SO GOOD HERE. HOPING FOR NO MORE WIND TO BLOW THE SNOW AROUND.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good morning, E...((HUGS))...are you and Gizmo still suffering with the awful cold weather? Getting out and just going for a ride is a good thing.

Santa is on his way tonight...are you ready?

Hope you are able to go out today.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Looking forward to your annual Messiah post.

Yep! It’s filled with Doggie Treats.

Going well. We’re having a warm Christmas — 70 to 75 degrees.

Cobra King - First Tank Into Bastogne 1944

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ouIrQ7umnsM

The fascinating story of ‘Cobra King’, a Sherman tank that was first to break the terrible siege of Bastogne during the 1944 Battle of the Bulge, and its subsequent accidental preservation.

Merry Christmas to you and all your kith and kin!

Merry Christmas everyone.

You could have stopped with the first two words. Luvie and I might have to search for something to flog you with. LOL!!!! I’d just about kill for your 70 to 75 degrees right now. I’d just about kill for her 50.
We did make it up to 24 this afternoon - - double what we had yesterday.

[Publius]

Tomorrow is upper 70's.

This Video is a very old Mambo originally done by Perez Prado in the 1950s named, "Mamgo 8," with this recent cover by La Orquesta Failde.

MERRY CHRISTMAS

ADAM: CANTIQUE DE NOEL

Classical composers never managed to write a successful Christmas carol. That task was left to amateurs like Thomas Wade, Franz Gruber and Anonymous, who wrote so many great tunes. Handel and Mendelssohn had carols attributed to them, but the tunes had their sources elsewhere and were adapted long after the composers’ deaths when they couldn’t complain.

The one significant exception was “Cantique de Noel,” known in English as “O Holy Night.” The composer, Adolphe Adam (accent on the last syllable of both names) is best known for the ballet “Giselle.” But this tune guarantees him a place in the Composers’ Hall of Fame. In the last verse it requires the singer to hit a fifth over the high tonic (not a drink!) and run down the scale to the tonic, sounding each note separately, not using portamento to slur the notes. It’s inadvisable to hand this to church congregations; the results can be comical.

This is an Italian conservatory concert with some fine work from all concerned. In French.

Go ahead, just rub it in. You’ll find coal in your stocking in the morning. LOL

MERRY CHRISTMAS

TCHAIKOVSKY: THE NUTCRACKER

This ballet was a failure in Pete’s day. It was not until after his death that it became a Christmas classic all over the world. This is the complete ballet, not the suite.

The drama all occurs in the first act, while the second act is there to show off the dancers’ chops. It’s not a dramatic success, but it’s redeemed by a superior score.
