Thank you for all the good wishes, Uncle Virgie ! And the video was great, couldn't stop myself from singing along . All the best and most pleasant things imaginable for you in the new year!
Happy New Year Schokie. I leave you with a present: http://es.youtube.com/watch?v=eG3afAIi6IQ. Now I'm not sure I like the back beat they put to it, but the video is fabulous.
Aunt Shecky has allowed me to put out one of her quizes of the week. Oh do give it a try: http://www.online-literature.com/for...t=38480&page=5, post #70. It's a lot of fun.
Merry Christmas my dear. Christmas at grandma's is the best. Fröhliche Weihnachten!
Dear Virgil, I'm off to my grandma's today, where I'll be staying a week, and since I won't have any Internet access there, I'd like to wish you a very very merry Christmas in advance! Fröhliche Weihnachten! Have a good one! Lots of love!
Thank you Schoky. That was nice. And the beer was very enticing.
Of course I was teasing . Personally I think languages that have a lot of vowels (such as French, Italian and Latin) sound much better if sung than those with a lot of consonants (such as German and Russian). And I found you a nicer version of that song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kFzcsuqb4Fw Notice the German beer in the front
Oh Schoky. I was referring to opera, and I was having a little fun. I absolutely adore what Arnold Schoenberg does with Pierre Lunar. That is so lovely if you've ever heard it. I tried to find it on youtube but couldn't. Thank you. I know you're teasing. At least I hope so. And thank you for your singing. I assume you have done this with your friends at some point: http://es.youtube.com/watch?v=qIdKs2...eature=related.
Since I heard that you for some reason I cannot even begin to fathom do not like singing in German, my birthday present for you would be a very sweet German birthday song to convince you otherwise - Here we gooooo *clears throat* "Viel Glück und viel Segen Auf all deinen Wegen Gesundheit und Frohsinn Sei auch mit dabei!"
I've just checked out your blog, what a nice and positive entry! My article is entitled "Your left is my north" (it's on spatial respresentation in different languages). But I guess these days writing a blog on the net for everyone to read is very much like getting published
