A bit of Sunday trivia
Daisy Bell" was composed by British composer Harry Dacre in 1892. When Dacre first came to the United States, he brought with him a bicycle, for which he was charged import duty. His friend William Jerome, another songwriter, remarked lightly: "It's lucky you didn't bring a bicycle built for two, otherwise you'd have to pay double duty." Dacre was so taken with the phrase "bicycle built for two" that he soon used it in a song. That song, Daisy Bell, first became successful in a London music hall.
In 1961, an IBM 7094 at Bell Labs was programmed to sing "Daisy Bell" in the earliest demonstration of computer speech synthesis. This recording has been included in the United States National Recording Registry.
Science-fiction author Arthur C. Clarke witnessed the IBM 7094 demonstration during a trip to Bell Labs in 1962 and referred to it in the 1968 novel and film 2001: A Space Odyssey, in which the HAL 9000 computer sings "Daisy Bell" during its gradual deactivation.
So now you know:-))
The busts of major composers adorn the walls of this salon in the Austrian State Opera House (Staatsoper) in Vienna.
The Austrian State Opera (Staatsoper) is a massive operation that employs over a thousand administrators, workers and performers. During the annual season from early September until mid June, that season's shows are performed on a rotating basis requiring a complete set change everyday since there is a show almost every night. In fact there are often two set changes in a day due to the need for dress rehearsals.

I took this from our living room window two years ago. There was so much snow that Ross went out to plow a path around the house so I could feed the birdies. We watched Die Hard and Die Hard 2 last week ( so good ) and each of them ended with this version of the song "Let it Snow" by Vaughn Monroe and his orchestra from 1945. - what a voice eh !

Let It Snow!", also known as simply "Let It Snow", is a song written by lyricist Sammy Cahn and composer Jule Styne in July 1945 in Hollywood, California, during a heatwave as Cahn and Styne imagined cooler conditions.
no snow this year, only rain and wind.

'If Papa Haydn or Wolfgang Amadeus or the red-headed Vivaldi were here with a camera, they'd snap a picture of what's in front of me.' So I take the picture for them :-)

The weather here in Eastern Ontario is disgusting. It's hot, it's humid and you don't want to do anything. I took the wild sweet peas that I had put in a make shift vase (old bottle) and went out on the patio to take some photos. I threw the Lensbaby Composer Pro (as can be seen in the exif data) with the Sweet 35 Optic on the Canon EOS 5D Mark II and put some green and pink tulle around the lens. Shot wide open and then edited in ON1 Photo Raw 2021 using a preset and a couple of develop effects.
