Ouchie ouchie. Looks like Sinclair Lewis not only writes jungle books, he
sneaks in Venetian waltzes on the side. Venetian blinds, Viennese waltzes. I
do know the difference. Thank you JL, and the correction the other day by
Chris. I'd still be thinking it was Sinclair Lewis. Actually, I was just
reading the Hildegard of Bingen wrote the first proto opera. It's in the movie
Vision, but the movie loses a lot without knowing something of her history.
That's it. Happy Veterans Day and I hope everyone is making better use of
their day off than I am.

Okay, I couldn't resist. Thanks to Lawrence for bringing up waltzes. Let's
begin with a Venetian waltz by, who else, Johann Strauss. I did wear my steel
toed shoes just in case the mood struck, but I'll sit this one out and watch.

Not Johann, but really pretty in my opinion. The politics have changed, but
the music lives on.

This is a sad one. Humans never change. Be warned, it's beautiful, but very
sad.

And last but not least, a bit off for the season but one of my favorite waltzes
ever.
