A Night at the Opera at A Ball Park - Part I

Last night I went to an Opera at the Ball Park. It was a great fun!  Tons of people, perhaps the whole city showed up.  San Francisco Opera's Lucia di Lammermoor by Gaetano Donezetti with Natalie Dessay as Lucia was projected on a giant screen cristal clear.  The performance was fantastic and it was Miss Dessay's debut in San Francisco.  The sound was first rate too.  We even got to sing "Take me out to the Opera" during the intermission like the baseball's seventh inning stretch. About the opera itself? I'll let you know about the story and my impression in part two.  Stay tuned.  Meawhile, you can read about it here http://sfopera.com/o/260.asp.

Take me out to the opera,
Take me out with the crowd.
Buy me seat at the Opera House.
I don’t care if it’s Mozart or Strauss,
For it’s “root, root, root, for the divas,
Bring a friend or a spouse,
For it’s “one, two, three cheers for you”
at the Opera House.

(The original song is below.  You can sing along and change the words accordingly).

Help!!! I accidentally deleted my music playlist with Comments

Is there a way to get them back? I downloaded the new version of Bocelli's "Les Feuilles Mortes" and thought I'd delete the old one without realizing I deleted the comments that went with it.

If I can't get them back.  I'm very sorry for those of you who took time to comments.  Please help me put the comments back again.  Thanks.  Sorry Guys.

Tribute to Tim Russert (1950-2008)

Today, Tim Russert, the Washington NBC Bureau Chief, the host of Meet The Press, an ace political Journalist, and a great human being whom I admired just passed away at age 58.  My thoughts and prayers go out to his family and loved ones.

We will miss you, Tim.

May the road rise to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
The rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of his hand.

May God be with you and bless you:
May you see your children's children.
May you be poor in misfortune,
Rich in blessings.
May you know nothing but happiness
From this day forward.

May the road rise up to meet you
May the wind be always at your back
May the warm rays of sun fall upon your home
And may the hand of a friend always be near.

May green be the grass you walk on,
May blue be the skies above you,
May pure be the joys that surround you,
May true be the hearts that love you.
