Hey, Luv.

(HUGS)

I have something for you. Back in 1953, the late Anna Russell did a twenty minute explanation of Wagner's "Ring" operas that is one of the most hilarious bits of comedic commentary ever comitted to tape. (Try that for alliteration.) Every word is true, and the more you know about opera, the funnier it is. But even if you don't know diddly about opera, it's still side-splitting.

Anna Russell: "Wagner Ring Opera Sketch"

I saw her do this bit in Los Angeles in 1980, and it was wonderful.
