Goin' To See the Queen
The Dancing Queen, that is. She's guesting as the Snow Queen and Sugar Plum Fairy for the Catskill Ballet Theater. (Embedded youtube trailer on front page.) Snow country. If I get any good pictures, I'll share. Meantime, this one goes out to Dylan. I always thought she was one of the great voices of the last 40 years or so. She was a big star, no doubt, but not paid as much attention by the hipsters, whose only regret was that Janis Joplin wasn't better looking, and who knew there wasn't a God because she died so young. But this girl actually sang about Him, and with sufficient conviction that you might think she believes the words. The first one is from a "mid-late 1980's Tennessee Ernie Ford TV special." After watching it, take a look at the second one from a recent PBS special, in which she sings her hit "Marry Me Bill" to the man she's been married to for the last 40 some years, and tell me how her voice is doing.

Sunday Appeal: Christmas in God's Country
Got a Christmas CD in the mail gratis Wyoming Catholic College and their fledgling choir. I knew they wanted money and figured I must be on a mailing list. Hard of heart, I decided to listen to the music before making up my mind: All right, they're trying. But it wasn't the music that made up my mind. It was the stuff in the Reverend Cook's cover letter. The college has placed itself under the "protection of Our Blessed Mother, Mary Seat of Wisdom," and the faculty take a "Profession of Faith and Oath of Fidelity to the Magisterium." Oh, and At Wyoming Catholic College, we will never invite or honor any public figure who acts in defiance of our fundamental moral principles. I figure they're worth a few bucks.
