Very good analysis in a short time. Excellent speaker with a good delivery and well-informed about the subject.

Bravo Ric Furmam! Magnificent interpretation of the last scene, truly a heldentenor! Warm regards from Caracas.

Thank you Omaria! This feels like such a long time ago and it's cool to see what I was doing then, and how I've grown! Also, it was lovely to see the gentle and warm Charles Parsons again. Like many, I miss him and remember him with joy and love.

KLINGER ON MASH WAS FROM TOLEDO, OHIO. THERE IS THAT EPISODE WERE HE PRONOUNCED WAGNER LIKE WAGNER. THE CORRECT WAY IS LIKE VAGNER. YOU PRONOUNCE IT LIKE THE FIRST LETTER STARTS WITH A V. IT IS A GERMAN THING. ALL WORDS THAT START WITH THE LETTER W IS PRONOUNCED LIKE A V. WHY I DO NOT KNOW. IT IS A GERMAN THING. EVERYTHING IS OVERLY COMPLICATED. ONLY HIGHBROW PEOPLE CAN GET THE HUMOR IN THAT PARTICULAR EPISODE.

What is this, what this wannabe Gurnemanz makes?
Is this singing?
No, this is not singing.
This is squeezing
