Yes I support Taps about you become famous and I can say I knew a lady twice my age who is now selling her autograph for fabulous amounts and she actually once poked her tongue out at me. Your round I think.

Sorry, I guess I fall into the category of someone who never thinks about opera. But I'm sure seeing almost any performance in a setting like that has to be awe inspiring . . .

e-books sounds good, we've lost at that already. I'll be here when all your eating is crackers in your attic It'll be dandy though. Opera and an attic don't make my future look too bright and I had enough of Paris anyway. That Greece and opera didn't seem to keep your bladder happy. That theatre in Athens needs some work done on it but they don't seem to work there I suppose.But hey
I love you here.

I love opera, Nabucco is one of my many favourites, I'm humming that chorus, and I know it'll be in my ears all night...

One of my biggest wishes of for Pat_B and Kabu to find the perfect publisher and to become famous on the New York Times Best Seller List. I want to brag to everyone that I know these authors.

I imagine that is quite the scene to see in person at Greece.

I love some parts of it better than others. The prelude - probably not
the right word for the music that plays so the last people can take their seats - and the tenors and baritones. Some of the soprano solos leave me cold, but I used to love Beverly Sills - duets she sang with Carol Burnett were amazing.

Lovely picture, Grandmummy. I like certain operas. I think CARMEN is one of my favourites.
