Loved it....and had to share on my Facebook page! :) Thanks, Maestro!

If I'm going to wrap up the letter "B", I might as well do it with "BB". Bruno Bozzetto's "Allegro non troppo" from 1976 has one short and very funny segment set to the music of Dvorak. Watch for the punch line at the very end.

I’ll probably have to do double-duty as the DJ.

The lady used to play Salsa but it was what I refer to as vanilla Salsa.

For one of her parties I showed up with my boom box and CDs.

Now everyone always INSISTS that I do the music.

“All Hands, turn to and rise up!”

Nah, that’s not the whole phrase. :-)

I never said it was Grammar Nazi-mate. It begins with "Now Hear This!" and usually concluded with, "The smoking lamp is now lit in designated spaces. Smoke'em if ya got 'em." (Only jarheads are urged to grab sox & all). :-P

What do FReepmail, Midnights, Crossroads and Riders have in common? Answer:

FReeper Bobp sent a FReepmail: "Could someone please post Midnight Rider by Gregg Allman?"

Shure! I can do that. But wait, is it Gregg's solo version he wants or the original Allman Brothers Band verision from the album Idlewild South? I'll play it safe and post both versions since Greeg sings 'em and wrote the song with Robert Kim Payne. That should cover it ... but, then again others have covered it as well. The Allman Brothers never released the 1970 version as a single, but it became a hit single for Willie Nelson, Joe Cocker, Waylon Jennings, Toby Keith and Buddy Miles. Gregg Allman's own solo version reached #19 on the Billboard Hot 100 in early 1974.

So, with all those versions I've almost got a built-in theme. Roll in Ghost Riders, Night Riders, Easy Riders, Freedom Riders and Storm Riders and we're starting to cook. And songs about Midnight? Only about a million (and that's just trains to Georgia alone.

But you'll recall I folded Crossrods into tonight's theme as well. That's because few tunes about the crossroads, hellhounds and traveling riverside tales (which all originated with blues legend Robert Johnson) don't include a rider "by my side". But, explainations aside, thanks BobP for inspiring a good'un. So, take your rider by your side buckaroos, let's go down to the crossrods and take a midnight ride ...

By Request!

"ALlegro non troppo" featured a wonderful look at a piece by Debussy. This one is rather racy with a bit of animated nudity.

Claude Debussy: "Prelude to the Midafternoon of a Faun"
