Oh, that well-known activity. Who hasn't done it?

This must be one of the best. Crikey, Ev, you took me back to school -- primary school. I can vividly remember hearing that in the school hall. The Head, Sister Mary Albius, used to bring in her own records and play them in the hall for the cultural enrichment of the pupils of the parish. And that one stood out. I love it. (I wonder why they used an image of Durham Cathedral. Apart from it being the best one in Britain, that is. Though Lincoln is a close rival.) |

I do like Prokofiev. A few years ago I went to see the ballet "Romeo and Juliet" with our daughter, and The Dance of the Knights (better known, haha, as the music to The Apprentice) is the most unbelievable scene, really stirring.
Talking of school, didn't you get force-fed "Peter and the Wolf"? I always liked that too, despite it always being played in music lessons.

And Grieg, and Saint Saens, and Rossini, and even Sibelius -- Finlandia. Didn't do me any harm. Good old Sister Mary Albius. Harsh but fair. We all hated her then, but I suppose she got it right in fact. It was a good school. (My very first teacher -- Sister Mary DePazzi -- was a stunner. I knew it even then. And a brilliant infants teacher.) |

"Don't eat the yellow snow"  You just reminded me of something that happened a few weeks ago when we had that first fall of snow. I was playing snowballs with my grandchildren in their back garden. Bearing in mind they have two cats who were having trouble finding a patch of earth in the garden to have a pee, I kept picking up yellow snow to make snowballs. Euwwww. Fortunately, there was no brown snow - or, at least, I didn't pick any up.  |

There is a wonderful 20 minute version of Don't Eat The yellow Snow on Frank's cd You Can't do that On Stage Any More Vol 1 (of 6). The song itself, followed by a section where people out of the audience recite poetry, Frank recites a bit out of Under Milk Wood, and then the band go into the Yellow Snow Coda (Father O'Blivion), an astonishingly virtuosic 7 minutes with really silly lyrics.
