Happy Birthday Paul !!!!!!

Hope this coming year will be full of adventures and fine wines and stary, stary nights.

Man that dude can sing, Sloppylicious! I went looking for appropriate redeitions of the traditional natal anniversary observance song of our people but 99% of them were intended for Paul McCartney...... o-well, I  found this one:

David, thanks for starting this thread!  You made my day. :-*

Monika, I'll always remember our day at Elbow Falls, hanging out at the "Sending up a prayer" rocks.  As for the windchime, let's just say, where's my 30-30?  :-X :-X :-X

Kelda, thanks for the wishes.  (I gotta get a kilt one of these days.)

Fabienne, dank u wel for the chocolates!  Miss you!

Dev, thanks, and I miss you too.

Chuck, thanks, little brother (and getting littler!)

Chrissi, I can see that photo is from Jake's Saloon (with RouxB's disembodied arm).  Vielen dank!

Jeff, woo hoo, thanks, Cowboy!

Sandy, love the purple icing!  Thanks!

Leslie, Merci, YGT!

Amanda, à la tienne aussi!

Sophia, Wow, ScaryDave the tattoed guy gives some great advice.  Tack!

Tru, thanks for the wishes.  I love that photo of us.   :-*

Elle, merci pour la môme!  That's one of my favorites, but I never saw that footage.  No regrets, indeed!

LOL. Believe it or not, right at this minute I was posting a pic of Paul on the roof in the Alberta forum, then decided to come back to this thread and add it here as well.

Well, Paul, here you go:

Wow, so many wonderful birthday wishes.  I feel very blessed. Thank you, everyone.

Monika:  that spot looks SO inviting!

Jeff:  yes, the world-famous momos, the Tibetan word for "smile".   I admit, I've had a few in my time.

Lee:  you're a 'know-how' girl after my own heart.

Chuckie:  thanks, Little Brother, I'll never forget that particularly embarrassing moment.  Completely unrelated, I hear there's a new 'Charlie's Angels' coming out soon.

Fran:  yes, even elephants know how to party.  Thanks for the wishes.

Tru:  thanks, Huckleberry.  Beautiful images, sad concept about distance, even 'wider than a mile'. 

Meryl:  I'm not sure if I should be saying 'abbondanza!' or doing my best Leona Helmsley impression!

Amanda:  Wow, Veuve and St. Germain is an excellent combination!

Yeah, that rooftop pic is a good one.  What won't a Brokie do for just the right photo?  Despite my apparent bear-ness, I assure you there was no permanent damage to the car.  

As for the bear t-shirt, it was my good-luck charm on the Moose Mountain climb--sure enough they stayed away!  Nothing bigger than a squirrel up there.

Ok, I recognized Sophia Loren at one glance, but the name of the blonde had escaped me. It's Jayne Mansfield of course. While googling I found the story behind the picture, as well as other photos of the series.
The whole thing included a slipped out nipple and was a publicity stint, and not Mansfield's only one.

Here's the story and other photos of the series:

Also, I didn't know that with only 34 years Jayne Mansfield had five children and thee marriages under her belt.

Vivaldi - Giustino

Meet the young Polish countertenor turning the opera world on its head. Fresh from his powerful performance of Vivaldi's poignant Vedrò con mio diletto  to a live televised audience of millions at France's Victoires de la Musique Classique, Jakub Józef Orliński is proud to share this digital single of what has become his signature aria, recorded with Il pomo d'oro, Baroque ensemble par excellence previously heard on albums including Joyce DiDonato's In War and Peace. ​Jakub releases his debut solo album on Erato, dedicated to Baroque sacred music, late 2018​​​.

Vedrò con mio diletto  was recorded in beautiful surroundings at Lonigo near Venice in February this year with Il Pomo D'oro, shortly before Jakub performed it to a televised audience of millions at Les Victoires de la Musique Classique.

Giustino  (also known as Anastasio) RV 717 is a 1724 opera by Vivaldi to a libretto by Nicolò Beregan. The opera was composed for the 1724 carnival season in Rome and premiered at the Teatro Capranica.

The aria of Anastasio, Vedrò con mio diletto, has become a famous piece sung at concerts and on recordings by countertenors such as Philippe Jaroussky and Jakub Józef Orliński and by contraltos as Sonia Prina.

In July 2018 a concert performance was given at the Festival International d'Opéra Baroque de Beaune — with the Accademia Bizantina conducted by Ottavio Dantone. In August 2018 a full costume version of Il Giustino, directed by Deda Cristina Colonna and with music by Peter Spissky and the Camerata Øresund, figured as one of the central pieces in the Næstved Early Music Festival.

Mea tormenta, properate
Johann Adolf Hasse

Warner Classics

Countertenor Jakub Józef Orliński makes a dramatic entrance with the aria Mea tormenta, properate  by Johann Adolf Hasse. This is the first opportunity to discover a track from his debut album, ANIMA SACRA, which will be released October 26, 2018. Pre-order here: http://wnrcl.me/animasacra

“Baroque style is about freedom and passion,” says Orliński, who was born in Poland, trained at New York’s renowned Juilliard School and in 2016 won the Metropolitan Opera's prestigious National Council Auditions.

While Hasse came from Germany, ANIMA SACRA’s special focus is on composers of the Neapolitan school and it features world premiere recordings of no fewer than eight arias. Mea tormenta, properate  was recorded in beautiful surroundings at Lonigo near Venice in February this year with Il Pomo D'oro; Jakub Józef is partnered by the brilliant team of Il pomo d’oro and conductor Maxim Emelyanychev. All in all, quite a debut!

By the way, according to that book I mentioned on the other thread, people born the same day as you include Maria Montessori, Caligula, James Coburn, Richard Gere, Itzhak Perlmann, Van Morrison, Wilhelmina (Queen of the Netherlands), and Alan Jay Lerner. Quite an esteemed crowd!

The book says, "Having a getaway to escape to, a cherished hobby or a secret role which they play far from the public eye is often essential to their psychological well-being" That sounds like our haven of BetterMost, where we find seclusion, friendship, and amusement!

Is that one of those wandering Chinese elephants? Have you been "following" them?

I think they're following me. 

I'm more a bourbon man, myself.

I celebrated my birthday in Ptown last weekend. 

My present was a few celebrity sightings:  Ryan Murphy, Charlie Carver and John Waters!

A few weeks ago, I was delighted to actually meet Ari Shapiro.  I can die now!

But you introduced me to Glen Fiddich.  ???

Never mind. I'm trying to cultivate a taste for bourbon (you could say for patriotic reasons  ;D ). Can you recommend any?

I keep some in the house for guests!

Yes, I can recommend Woodford reserve.  It's very smooth.

Happy Birthday once more!
Love that photo of you and Sonja! :D

And you inctroduced me to some kind of whiskey that was actually drinkable, lol. While it may sound blasphemic, it is meant as a compliment. It was the first time I deemed whiskey as not too bad. Smooth is the key-word.
You also introduced me to oysters in Madrid.

So many adventures through the years. We all should have a big one together once the Covid-sh*t will be over.

Happy belated birthday, Paul! I'm with you on the bourbon. Here's your present! Unfortunately, they misspelled "Old," but the contents should taste the same.
