Commentary

Okay, now I'm trying a commentary for something different---

Listened to the new Sting CD and was pleasantly surprized. The music comes from an Elizabethean songwriter. Sting reminds me of my voice teacher from long ago, Kevin Lambert. His voice is accompanied by a soft acoustic guitar or possibly other stringed instrument. Isn't this also called chamber music?

It's good for background music. I can imagine people drinking grog with a roasted turkey leg in their hand. I might just have to buy some apple cider this week. Too bad the renaissance festival was two weeks ago.

Speaking of renaissance festivals, I always have to remember the time I went when it was at Newman University. Here was this statue of St. Francis with his hands cupped together, and someone placed their roasted turkey leg in them. It looked pretty funny.
