    Billy I am soooooooo sorry but I have exams, you know that’s why I am here, I love opera but I also want to make career. But I will definitely come in May. I have to go to play tennis now and tonight will listen to Die Nacht, and think of you

    Alle Lichter dieser Welt, Alle Blumen, alle Farben
    Löscht sie aus und stiehlt die Garben Weg vom Feld.
    Alles nimmt sie, was nur hold, Nimmt das Silber weg des Stromes,
    Nimmt vom Kupferdach des Domes Weg das Gold.

    Maybe Guny could understand this: Para el gusto las flores, para escoger los colores.

    I looooooove Flagstad, in So America I could only get the Angel recording when boy, then someone here gave me the London with Beecham, it’s great! Also Leider with Coates, very bonita, muy linda. After listening to Nilsson Walkure with Decca threw it out and never want to hear Nilsson again.

    Seliger, You have excellent taste. That’s very rare today.

  • Billy's Butt says:

    what don’t you like about Nilsson? and you still haven’t told me how old you are.

    I love using foreign words but you don’t have to always understand the whole language to work things out. E.g. “Gundryggia” is probably the German word for “Gonorrhea”.

    “krunoslav” would be a Slavic woman’s privates.

  • Karnal Jones says:

    “seliger alsichgelebt” would mean “sitting around arguing.”

  • Karnal Jones says:

    Gracias Maria, are you also Spanish? I am sorry Billy but I had classes and I am sorry I cannot come to NY. I hope to meet you one day so we can listen to Wagner and Strauss together. I also like Berg, I really really like Die Nachtigall. Die Rose aufgesprungen. I love flowers also, you?
