All of us, every single man, woman, and child on the face of the Earth were born with the same unalienable rights; to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. And, if the governments of the world can't get that through their thick skulls, then, regime change will be necessary.
Oh, and by the way, another funny thing about Albinoni's Adagio is, it wasn't composed by Albinoni.
From Wiki:
"The Albinoni Adagio in G minor is a 1958 composition entirely composed by Remo Giazotto, which Giazotto claimed to have based on fragments from a slow movement of an Albinoni trio sonata he had been sent by the Dresden State Library."
I thought I'd better add that, or you might have remarked, "Pastorius, Albinoni was before Rodrigo.
I didn't know about Rodrigo, I did know about Giazotto which is why I credited both.
Got snowmageddon going on. 16 inches on top of the 18 we had and we're only 1/2 way through. Blowing & drifitng. Reading has declared it's first snow emergency ever. The county has shut down. Nothing moving. Lots of shovel work.

I have Gilbert Kaplan conducting the London Symphony Orchestra of the adagietto from Symphony #5:

I think of a nice bottle of chianti, a table set for jihadi, pliers, a butane torch, and fava beans. A lovely evening.
MR,
ReplyDeleteYou're a victim of Global Warming. You could probably sue some corporations and win big money.
Right! Who does Al Bore work for?
