I'll just post this here.
It was the early 1980s. I was in college at that time, and attending a Christmas party that a local science fiction fan club was holding.
"Put on some Christmas music," one of the women there said.
I looked over the albums the party host had. I put on Handel's "Messiah."
"No, I said Christmas music," she stated.
As Rod Serling would have said, "No comment. No comment at all."
At a works Christmas do a couple of years back, I told a joke about Heisenberg. Nobody got it, so I explained it,. Someone said "Well, I've seen every episode of Breaking Bad and I still don't get it."
Priceless!
What is the joke?
Have ya'll heard "Merry Christmas from the family", by Robert Earl Keen?
That's one of those instances where you just have to shake your head, give in and put Rudolph The Red Nose Reindeer on endless repeat.
I've sang the Messiah twice. Once was as a part of a four mass choir concert at Orchestra Hall in Minneapolis, MN and the other was a Messiah sing along where anyone was invited to come and sing, we practiced four two hours in the afternoon and then performed that night. Oddly enough, the Messiah sing along went a hell of a lot better than I expected it to.
Iām going to one on Sunday in Belfast. I just adore singing The Messiah, and just posted Unto Us a Son is Given in the Classical Music group today.
That would have been interesting, especially to see "Every Valley Shall be Exalted" performed in that format.
