The day coming up for you western hemisphere coves happens to be Handel's 250th birthday and you might consider listening to your local classical FM station or whatever makes life bearable in Texas (as Lou Reed memorably said on the album "1969" by Velvet Underground)

In support of which I include my incriminating and unresponded to post, far be it from me though it is to complain.

Messiah is on again tonight, which is good because heaven is a place where nothing (new) ever happens.
I get a real kick out of the chorus
'O thou who tellest good tidings to Zion
Say unto the cities of Judah
Behold your God' etc etc
and can never hear it without feeling moved, (which is odd, because I have no high opinion of much of Christian theology).The choruses are like a beautiful rainforest, all layered.
He gave the manuscript to St Thomas's Children Hospital and conducted 17 Christmas performances to raise money for the hospital, or something like that.

My son spent 9 months in Canada, the USA and Europe, and when he came back he said that if I was to go *anywhere* it should be to Austin, Tx.
Maybe girls stopped him in the street to give him their phone numbers. (Do you want to hook up?)
They were very friendly
