When I was a youngster we would sneak away to the 'ol swimming hole. On the walk back home we would be hungry and would eat raw field corn. I was actually pretty good when it is young, but I learned the hard way not to eat more than one small ear!

You are right on. I wonder if the pickled little ears in grocers markets are field or sweet? I grew my own sweet corn and pigged out big time on first crop eating 36 ears at one sitting, No problem. Sweet corn can be eaten raw I find out only some 20 years ago. Delicious!!!

And I not that big just average. Only did it that one time. Got carried away with home grown tasty corn. It was probably standard yellow but later on I found out that the white can be even better.

Pleasant Surprise....The lyrics are more relevant today than 1969. The music fitting too....somber.....first time I heard this. I see the group originated in London and there is a post of a promotion from around 2012 for a production of Weills' ..'City of Mahagonny',...which points to London as 'Mahagony'. It is posted this thread #40 and #41

I am not a fan of opera, either :unsure: However, Paul Schwartz gives popular
operatic arias a once over and I find the results stunningly palatable :D
Schwartz was Andre Previn's assistant conductor with the Pittsburgh Symphony
and musical director for Andrew Lloyd Webber 's Phanton of the Opera. He has
three CDs that I know of (Aria, Aria 2, Aria 3) to his name done after this fashion.

Here is an example (Paul's version starts @ 00:48)




He also did a CD called State of Grace featuring Lisbeth Scott on vocals.

This has long been a fave of mine :D The original was written by Ambrose of Milan in the 4th century.

I have gone almost 4 years without listening to music. Phantom I used to really like the Schwartz piece is appealing. I still don't pay much attention to music now. Kurt Weill is a different animal. Years ago on the internet or tv I saw a production of 'mahagony' that didn't come across as opera at all. Actually I believe among the hoi polloi Weills' works are not 'opera'. Snobs!!!???stuffed shirts????Weill seems to be delivering a message. Gods' or the Devils'?????His 'seven deadly sins' is strange. I could also play along on guitar to his 'Alabama' song. It was kind of popular like the 'Mack the Knife' from his 'Three Penny Opera'. Well known people did both. Alabama song is strange.

I recall ...the first cellphones were heavy as bricks

I had a flip phone until it broke.

I even had a Garfield Phone once but it didnt work with our phone network.

Also I lost the remote to the TV at school so now I have to go to the wall and turn it on at the switch.

I used to use a typewriter, by the time I was at school they had gone electronic.
