A nice combination when we around Spain with them years ago. <BR/><BR/>Did the sppuse primero find John Irvings tale of the tatoos and the pipe organ amusing? <BR/><BR/>I hope you are over your ailments and enjoying the beauty of the first snowfalls of the season...<BR/><BR/>"Ginn"<BR/>V.J.

I have just discovered the delights of baroque latin american choral music myself - even the composers' names - Zipoli, Zespandes (from memory as the CD is in the car and its wet, foggy and cold here in East Anglia)- are musical.<BR/>And as so often, as soon as I discover something I come across references to it everywhere and wonder how I managed to miss it all my life!!<BR/>Your thanksgiving sounds lovely!<BR/>yours<BR/>Bridget (of the golden shrugs!)bridgethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10550081467422265645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9018985237438196013.post-32705612225641874652008-11-26T18:11:00.000+01:002008-11-26T18:11:00.000+01:00Great to hear about those Spanish trumpets, even i...Great to hear about those Spanish trumpets, even if you didn't get a chance to hear them. I wonder what missiles they would spew out if you set them loose! Sorry to hear about the bug but great to hear about the first snow.

I talked about my rumbling tum, and St. Cecilia, and pipe organs. I did not go any lower. <BR/><BR/>...I guess some "other" things are a lot more interesting than saints and musical instruments!Rebrites@yahoo.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11827625656760747239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9018985237438196013.post-79007825740131605552008-11-25T21:05:00.000+01:002008-11-25T21:05:00.000+01:00Toilet Trivia:Thomas Crapper served as the royal s...Toilet Trivia:<BR/>Thomas Crapper served as the royal sanitary engineer for members of England's royalty for many years. The man held nine patents: Four for improvements to drains, three for water closets, one for manhole covers and the last for pipe joints. (He did not invent the flush toilet - that is an urban legend). He marketed the "Silent Valveless Water Waste Preventer" (No. 814) <BR/>He did, however, invent a new wooden toilet seat with a little gap in the front for the convenience of male ... er... crappers, I suppose. <BR/>So, the little 4 letter word is not really a swear word and the next time you need to go to the crapper for a crap, you can thank old Thomas Crapper.Silhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14206993775726151899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9018985237438196013.post-69959060807278705532008-11-25T19:08:00.000+01:002008-11-25T19:08:00.000+01:00Hmmm, toilet humour!C xHmmm, toilet humour!<BR/><BR/>C xCarolineMathiesonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13433365257865445083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9018985237438196013.post-59146215587526700292008-11-25T18:04:00.000+01:002008-11-25T18:04:00.000+01:00Reb, you are totally, delightfully, hilarious,your...Reb, you are totally, delightfully, hilarious,<BR/><BR/>yours in sonorous sympathy,<BR/>kKathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04514981590812664141noreply@blogger.com
