Giacomo Rossini -- the software still works
To be honest I never quite realized Rossini's greatness until my tablet popped this commercial up at me the other day.
It's that aria from "The Barber of Seville" that you hear all the time. Well, being into classical music I have heard it all the time. But I heard it differently, watching this ad.
That software still works!
That is my husband's expression. It means that what worked in 1820 still works now. Watching that commercial, I was absolutely charmed. That music is pure fun. It's masterful. It pulls you in and keeps you there. It makes you laugh out loud.
Just when you think it's over, it goes into overdrive.
I know other people would be charmed and sure enough. Looking on YouTube at the comments, I read, "I came here for this song." And: "Who sings this song?"
Someone wrote: "Very nice song. Which is this language how can I get songs like this."
I still do not know exactly what the ad is selling.
A Cloudy Fall Fit For a Pluviophile
-
Not to shock anyone but today I went walking in Forest Lawn Cemetery. You
have to walk in cemeteries in the fall, I am sorry. In October.
I love fall da...
