Not all that super to me


First, an addendum to my last post about the film “Amadeus.” One surprise was seeing a familiar face in the role of Lorl, a maidservant secretly hired by Mozart competitor Salieri to spy on the family. The role was played by a very young (23 years old) Cynthia Nixon, aka Miranda Hobbes from “Sex and the City.” Here are some clips from the film.

  


In another a cappella music-related note, Jimmy Kimmel had on an impressive group of five young singers from Arlington, Texas called Pentatonix. Members are vocalists Scott Haying (baritone), Mitch Grossi (tenor), Kirstin Moldonado (mezzo-soprano), Kevin Olusola (vocal percussion), and Mat Sallee (bass).  Here is their performance from “Jimmy Kimmel Live.”

 



I suppose most people are writing and reading about Super Bowl LV. In solidarity with our grandson Joshua, I tried to watch but I have to admit I fell asleep part-way through. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers were already way out ahead, and, as I am sure you all know, went on to win 31 to 9 over the Kansas City Chiefs. I tried, I really did, but I just do not find the game at all interesting. Maybe I only like round balls.

In case you missed it, here is the half-time show. I did not really enjoy this any more than I enjoyed the actual game.



Meanwhile, it snowed again, and more is coming. We are just hoping we will be able to safely travel to my appointment for dose #2 on Thursday morning.

Stay safe and warm and healthy!

Love,
