Baaa! Memeage!

Ask me one question about each of the following:

1. friends
2. sex
3. music
4. drugs
5. love

No matter how rude, sexual, or confidential.
Then post this in your journal and see what questions you get asked!

"...or even Handel's Messiah--love to sing that."

My Dad specifically requested the Hallejulah chorus at his funeral. Because he was a doctor and we knew a lot of his patients would be coming who might not get it, we specified it was his request in the funeral-program-thingy. Lots of laughter mixed with tears when it played. So much more him than, say, Paschelbel's Overused Cannon (a favourite of funerals and weddings, bizarely)

"All we like sheep"--bass aria--one of my favorites. But more likely "He trusted in God", that's the time I'll want to hear it.

Actually, "All we like sheep..." is a chorus piece. Are you perhaps thinking of "Why do the nations so furiously rage together?"
(I've sung a lot of Messiahs. I think that oratorio is branded into my brain. Fortunately I still like the music.)

You're right! "Have gone astrayayaya". But since it starts with the bass, I tend to think of it as mine. Possessive, ain't I? Of course, at the Sing Along Messiah at Stanford, you can sing anything you want to try for...
