Find a website for Christine
Now that we know that Christine is getting more into the web I think we should find useful sites for her to browse.
Here is one I have mentioned before but I'm sure she'd like it: www.nicecupofteaandasitdown.com If you scroll down a bit on this one and click on "The duck" on the left hand side you get to feed a duck And another www.happy-wee-biscuits.com Gail |

Christine should bookmark the Ralph Vaughan Williams Society Web site:
http://www.rvwsociety.com/aboutsociety.html The site has biographical matter, timelines, a list of publications, sound clips, concert schedules, list of works, news/events, links & so on. Ralph (pronounced "Rafe") Vaughan Williams is the greatest symphonist of the 20th century, in my opinion & in the opinion of many others. He was a quintessentially English composer who turned a light--which had long since been turned off--on the English Renaissance tradition of Byrd & Tallis. My favorite Vaughan Williams symphony is the Third (the Pastoral), which is suffused with English countryside motives & themes. What is an "English" composer? There is no single correct answer. To me, the English style is lyrical, melodic, melancholic, nostalgic & mystical. When you listen to the Third symphony or to the Tallis Fantasia or "Dives & Lazarus" or perhaps most especially to "The Lark Ascending" (which serves as the jumping-off point for Kate Bush's album "Aerial"), you can't help thinking, "This ... this is England." Vaughan Williams music is truly mystical, as opposed to Stevie's imagery cliches (so often cited as a benchmark of musical mysticism by Stevie's fans). There is far more genuine mysticism in Stevie's singing style than in her vapid lyric tropes. Mysticism goes well beyond the use of phrases about fog, angels & candlewax.

after much thought, i think i'd pick out wikipedia for her, if nothing other than the hours of mindless (and sometimes not entirely factual) entertainment it provides. i've gotten through many a slow day at work by looking up which nation consume the highest amount of tea and how long the average elephant's trunk is.
and wow, after stating that, i suddenly realize i have no life. |

In one of those interviews that she did a few years ago, she mentioned that she loves Seinfeld & Larry David's Curb Your Enthusiasm, so I'd recommend the official sites of those 2 shows.
