Do you have 10 minutes to spare watching a babe with a great deal of musical talent?
I thought you would. Ends kind of abruptly, unfortunately.

Speaking of Vivaldi, I learned the following on a discussion thread about some rediscovered compositions of his (https://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/3871433/posts):
Beethoven and Brahms had no idea who Vivaldi was, since they lived during a time when his music was lost. There were no “Vivaldi Concerts” in the 19th century.
A quip by Peter Shickele (of P.D.Q. Bach fame) was (not exact quote) “Vivaldi wrote 500 concertos, or the same concerto 500 times.”
The cartoonist Rodriques did a cartoon every month in the Stereo Review lampooning stereophiles (truly worth being lampooned). One of his cartoons showed a sign in a stereo shop that read “Vivaldi Tapes Erased for Free.”
Is anybody else being distracted by the facial expressions of the man behind her? He looks lost.
Yep.
But, then, I quckly regained my focus.
They had Vivaldi tapes in the 19th century? Was the matrix reset since then?
You think your life has been wasted? I spent my life spending my money on women, gambling, and booze…the rest of my money I just pissed away.
I bet it was painful when you did.
