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, <\/em>or 50 Classical Masterpieces. <\/em>you know something like like that. I did a quick image search on Bing.com but didn’t see anything familiar.<\/p>\n

There were times when my sisters and I would dig out these classical albums and perform whatg I’m going to call Spotlight Operas.<\/em> 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.\u00a0 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.<\/p>\n
