Beer and Opera, perfect together

Funny video my buddy Brendan Cooke at Baltimore Concert Opera put together to appeal to the beer and football crowd.

Yours truly singing Als Büblein klein, Falstaffäs aria from Die Lustigen Weibern von Windsor by Otto Nicolai.

(….and chugging a beer for the cause.)

I just received a new CD of songs by Peter Flint on which I sing one called Grass on a text of Carl Sandburg. I really like the song and am very pleased with how the recording came out. For information on the music and how to purchase, visit www.avianmusic.com

GRASS

by: Carl Sandburg (1878-1967)

ILE the bodies high at Austerlitz and Waterloo,

Shovel them under and let me work–

I am the grass; I cover all.

And pile them high at Gettysburg

And pile them high at Ypres and Verdun.

Shovel them under and let me work.

Two years, ten years, and passengers ask the conductor:

What place is this?

Where are we now?

I am the grass.

Let me work.

Have a listen.
