@hamburgboy,

hbg, that music was fabulous. Don't know Arcangelo Corelli, but thanks again for the introduction and the info. Loved the instrumentation. Don't forget to check out the condor song.

Once again, I was delighted to see Quo Vadis. Nero didn't fiddle, he played the harp.

Here's the trailer. Love Peter Ustinov.

Quote:

Franco Corelli (8 April 1921 – 29 October 2003) was a famous Italian tenor who had a major international opera career between 1951 and 1976. Associated in particular with the spinto and dramatic tenor roles of the Italian repertory, he was celebrated universally for his powerhouse voice, electrifying top notes, clear timbre, a very elegant and passionate singing and remarkable performances. Dubbed the "Prince of tenors", Corelli possessed handsome features and a charismatic stage presence which endeared him to audiences. He had a long and fruitful partnership with the Metropolitan Opera in New York City between 1961 and 1975. He also appeared on the stages of most of the major opera houses in Europe and with opera companies throughout North America

@hamburgboy,

Wow! what wonderful covers of The Condor, hbg. Fabulous song.

Franco's song was great. Thanks again for the introduction.

Here's a tribute to a man who deserves it. First some info.

MILWAUKEE - There's a 15-year-old Florida girl who didn't really know much about Charlie Sheen before this week - but does now.

The actor wired $10,000 to Teagan Marti and her family on Thursday for a therapy dog to help in her rehabilitation from injuries sustained when she plummeted 100 feet from a Wisconsin amusement park ride in 2010.

"I think he's a very kind person for helping me and my family and very generous," Teagan Marti said by phone Thursday from her home in Parkland, Fla.

Teagan Marti suffered brain, spine, pelvis and internal injuries in July 2010 when nets and air bags that were supposed to catch riders on a free-fall ride were not raised. She had convinced her family to make the trip from Florida to Extreme World in Wisconsin Dells after seeing the amusement park's Terminal Velocity ride on the Travel Channel

Now, the tribute.
