How'd it go, Al?

Incredibly well. I am totally drained though. There's some pics on Facebook if anyone would like a look.

Ping!!!!!!
“There, peeping among the cloud-wrack above a dark tor high up in the mountains, Sam saw a white star twinkle for a while. The beauty of it smote his heart, as he looked up out of the forsaken land, and hope returned to him. For like a shaft, clear and cold, the thought pierced him that in the end the Shadow was only a small and passing thing: there was light and high beauty for ever beyond its reach.”
― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Return of the King

I'd like to see it too, though I'm busy enough with my own right now that I may not be able to watch it for detail for a while :upsidedown:

I'll just say it is very worth watching, and leave it at that.

Maria Callas Hologram Performance



What do you think? Ghoulish, or a wonderful tribute?

It would have been better if they based the hologram on real footage. In that clip they used a recording of her singing Carmen and based the hologram on footage of her singing unrelated arias. Why not build a 3D hologram on performances that we actually have films of?

Well, Scrooge! is over, and was by all accounts a resounding success. I'm worn out, sleep-deprived, and sick, but not so much that it stopped me from auditioning for the next one (a comedy), and being offered a part again. Rehearsals begin tonight. It's a disease, I tell you.

I don't think one was made, unfortunately. :( We were all warned not to for copyright reasons. But someone may have done a bootleg that may turn up eventually...

Hey Al, I don't suppose you'd be in possession of a karaoke version of "I, Don Quixote" minus the interlude where they build the cart, would you? Or know where one could acquire such a thing?

I don't think so but Youtube is your friend for Karaoke versions!

Yeah; couldn't find one there I liked, though. Oh well; I'll keep digging, and maybe just resort to editing it myself.

Loved it! Only shortcoming was that it ended too soon. :(

I really am.

(I actually thought the other link was going to be the full show, which is why I didn't get around to watching it until yesterday night when everything was snowed out and I had a couple free hours for a change)
