              753-6980" at Dec 20, 92 1:37 pm

Speaking of "goofing off" -
This afternoon I went to a sing-along concert of the Messiah by
Tafelmusik, a youngish Toronto-based baroque orchestra, with the
old master, Papa Handel himself, conducting in period style (signed
on an exclusive  North American contract with Tafelmusik, as the
program cheerfully proclaimed...).

A sing-along concert sounds like a prescirption for chaos, but it really
worked rather well and we did a rousing encore of the Hallelujah chorus. It
was a lot of fun, with  a lot of - dicreet - hamming by a grumpy Papa
Handel for the benefit of the many children present, but also a lot of
exquisite music - produced, in part, by the audience, seated by voice
parts - as well as the professional choir. The score was on sale on
site at a fairly reaasonable price. This was the sixth annual
sing-along Messiah concert by Tafelmusik, who also do a formal
version, which is usually sold out months ahead of time - along with
the very formal concert of same by the Toronto Symphony/Mendelsohn
Choir. But unlike the others, Talemusik's - whose humble
beginnings are still rather recent -  singlalong version is singularly
charming and unpretentious, not to mention reasonably priced.

If you come across anything like this, I can heartily recommend it.
And also brushing up on your - er, music sightreading, not to mention,
ahem, voice production. I, for one, sure have to scurry back to the basics.
But that should be fun, too (if i can find some time, that is).

Every year I try to get to the Messiah and /or the Nutcracker. Last
year it was Mozart's version of Handel's Messiah, which, I felt, loses
quite a bit in the Mozartian translation. `The Messiah' with the
Mozartian 'lilt', for lack of a better word -  or should that be
'tilt'??? ...it lacked that special quality that we associate with
this Xmas classic.

wishing all a merry Xmas - and just now - to all, a good night

I hope I didn't mislead--Paglia is not a "woman hater." She hates only
certain types of women. It's not certain that her public views match her
private feelings, because one often has the impression that much, perhaps
most, is schtick.
Madonna is her hero,and she feels M is the current ideal role model for
women.

for dogs."

Even the names appear to be unrelated.  Munich (Monachium in late Latin)
means "home of the <Benedictine> monks," while Monaco comes from the
temples the Phoenicians and Greeks erected to Heracles, whose local surname
Monoecus may be derived from a pre-Indo-European root 'mon' meaning
raised site or rock.  (Encycl. Brit.)

Those Italians make the weirdest associations.  Almost as bad as the

It's gotta be more than just the addition of nuts that makes Snickers taste

By the way, Ruth, more can be gotten out of discourse than just
gut feelings like "she's being friendly", "this is good", "that
is threatening", "this is bad" and so on. Most people also like
their words to have more precise meanings. Generally they happen
to succeed.

I am not against babbling as such, but it is amusing when a babbler
begins to hear the world through a babbler's ears.

You could be losing out on a lot of fun by not taking into account
the fact that words have meanings.

Karen, what kind are you looking for?  The frozen ones are good,
especially if you add a small piece of salt pork (or bacon), salt, and
black pepper.  Fresh ones are the best, but the shelling of them is tedious.

Subject:      Roller-Coaster Update

Well, they just loaded the fourth big hunk of iron in our building.  We
are several blocks away from Busch Gardens and my window faces that
direction ....with downtown Tampa (getting more high-rises every year)
in the background.  Well I noticed this rather tall spidery structure,
much higher than anything else at Busch Gardens and was wondering what
it could be ....oh, it's the new roller-coaster!  Wow....did I really
tell Steve I would give a report on this thing?  Maybe I will come to
my senses before it opens ....this thing is HIGH!

                            Peace,
                                  Don
