May the Lord be with you as He is with me.

…but that first step is a killer.

I knew it! I knew Chopin was a vampire…

That Das Rheingold piece is really heavy!

I also heard Frederic kept a small urn of hot mustard!

Hate to be the poor roadie for a cluster of anvil musicians.

It’s probably heck trying to use the bridge, or does it come with steps?

All those out of tune anvils would probably leave one with a brutal headache

Hey Freddie, why didn’t you just return to Poland when you started feeling a little ill? They got plenty of Polish soil there.

I had to Google it! It is beautiful. However – for photo purposes only!!

“Can you walk across Devil’s bridge in Germany?This bridge (and the surrounding park) are a must-see for travelers in the area, but take note that crossing the bridge is strictly prohibited! There are great views of the bridge from the park, and you can always Photoshop yourself into the pictures you take!”

“Wagner’s music is much better than it sounds.” — Mark Twain

“I’ve got a jar of di-irt!”

How – or even why – can you tune an anvil???

DAS RHINEGOLD is the SHORT one in the RING at only 2 and a half hours.The other three require intraveneous feeding in your seat
