You Must Hear This to Believe This!

Believe it or not, Florence Foster Jenkins managed, despite being famously awful, to sell out an entire concert at Carnegie Hall. She had many admirers (among them Enrico Caruso). This has to be heard to be believed. As a particular point of interest, after she recorded this song, she told the sound engineer that no second try was needed as it was perfect. See for yourself. (She is singing Queen of the Night by Mozart, incidentally). Some might argue that singers at this level of talent are the norm in show biz these days.

Labor Day Weekend

Here is video I edited from some video footage of my Labor Day weekend, last week. This features my brother Chuck's friend Mark, his girlfriend Amy, and his friend, Chuck, who is my brother. It's only two minutes long and features a soundtrack by Gorillaz and Beck.

Enjoy...
