About Me

My photo
Split personality. Liking the arts, especially opera, and hockey and Los Toros. I know, I know THAT one is non pc currently. But I can't help it saw some in Spain and got hooked, but good. But on the other hand right now opera and hockey are in the forefront!

Home vs Arena and more..

So, the sports leagues,
specifically at College level, wonder about diminishing audiences ?
Dare I guess?
  • too expensive,
  • no name players,
  • no name coaches
  • no need to dress (for success of YOUR team-lol)
  • much to-ing and fro-ing between the same teams
  • the birth of huge digital television sets
  • the comfort of home
  • the easy access to (better) food 
  • and cheaper drinks (lol)
  • the transportability via cell phones
  • and staying in touch with one's world via cellphone for immediate updates.
Such as this clip... classical music a la cellphone

Do I really care?
Do you?

Whatever...
have fun listening to 4 Fagots = bassoons played by a Lady Gaga Clones Quartett ;-)!

In a lighter vein...

Talent is everywhere.. one just has to find it.

So here are The Breaking Winds, a bassoon quartett with one of their fun-to-listen to pieces

followed by a their interpretation of Bach's Toccata and Fugue
I know it's not a awfully popular instrument because it is a bit difficult to play and often ignored,  but these gals do it so well.. so enjoy and look out for more of their pieces ..


And for good measure another clip of Tenore Salvatore Licitra with Celeste Aida (Verdi)
