I’m going give you a break from the top AM radio hits of the 70’s to take you in a different direction. you might recall me mentioning that mom had a couple dozen LP albums. You know about the Disney stuff and Frankie Laine. She also had a couple of classical compilations. One was 4 or 5 records in a box with a title like 50 Classical Overtures, or 50 Classical Masterpieces. you know something like like that. I did a quick image search on Bing.com but didn’t see anything familiar.
There were times when my sisters and I would dig out these classical albums and perform whatg I’m going to call Spotlight Operas. We would turn off all the lights in the room and tip the table lamp on its side to create an effect similar to a spotlight. We’d put the classical albums on the record player and take turns in the spotlight acting out humrous dances or lip syncing to the classics. It doesn’t sound that funny in a couple of sentances but we thought it was hilarious and would laugh our butts off to the classics.
March of the Toreadors
Sabre Dance
Hungarian Dance
!812 Overture. I keep wanting ti stick in an “a” between Over and Ture. Don’t no why that it is.
Ride Of The Valkyrie
William Tell Overture. Hey isn’t this the Lone Ranger Song?
Flight Of The Bumblebee. I think it is great how this piece captures the natural flight of the bee in music. Well done.
