I just received the following message via facebook from my dear long lost friend John McCarty (I say "long lost" because since meeting him now half a decade ago, he has left Minnesota to pursue his doctorate in choral conducting somewhere near the Atlantic... Virginia? North Carolina? South Carolina? I forget. It's all the same place). I'm reposting it because it's simply too amusing not to share with friends- because if I took Mr. McCarty's advice and learned this aria of Wagnerian proportions (pun intended) and did in fact sing it each and every time I entered or departed a room, you, my friends on this (west) side of the Mississippi, would need some sort of explanation before having me committed.
So as not to confuse you (or even further amuse you): Gassett, Dahlly, Brownie and my brother and sisters are all but one non-musicians.
Dearest Gaphknea-
I hope all is well in Minnesota. I just wanted to pass along an idea that I think would make the world a better place. I believe that if you would sing the attached aria each and every time you entered or left a room that the world's problems would be solved.
All you would have to do is teach Gassett, Dahlly, Brownie, and your brother and sisters how to play some instruments.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
John McCarty
