Anna Russell was brill. My brother also saw her, live, in her earlier days. Brought home an LP which had us all in stitches.

Strinsinger/Frank! Nice to *see* you back! I may be showing my bro's age, but not only was it Bayreuth, it was also Kirsten Flagstad!

My brother has finished an epic opera and is now entering it into his PC, so we have a couple of sound files I will get up soon. He's now starting the full orchestration. Libretto, stage directions, etc. as well as the music, all by him. I am proud of him.
