Yesteryear, Zarah Leander meets Marlene Dietrich https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BYi5fhZkEk8 Zarah Leander and Birgit Nilsson in an incredible and amazing duet. "I'm Prima Donna, Absoluta! Do you want to see a star, look at me! " https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t6fb36z5upc Zarah Leander. Birgit Nilsson |

Yesteryear, Singing Yes. To sing or speak so is worth everything. I love the deep reverberating voice. However Zarah Leander and her fellows are really cheesy in movies. :( Birgit Nilsson Her photo makes me think of Boudicar... |

Perhaps my post needs some explanation. Your pic of Marlene Dietricht is linked to a totally different singer. It's Lale Andersen who sings "Lili Marleen" from 1939. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wh4qe0Hp6RU But it was also sung by Marlene Dietricht, Vera Lynn and many others. As for Birgit Nilsson:) Yes. Her character as Brünnhilde in the Valkyrian by Richard Wagner was her favorite role. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birgit_Nilsson Birgit Nilsson sings Brunnhilde's Immolation Scene (end) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bRj9f3PCe0M BTW. What is Boudicar? |

Boudicar (Boodicar \ Boudicea or whatever) was the Icenian woman (North East England \ Briton) local ruller that stood against the Romans. Heroin but overwhelmed. |

Was the first TV we had I liked it back when tv's and stereo systems were pieces of furniture in the living room. The mind is a weird and mysterious place |

Our tv's were console cabinets, but didn't have doors like that or a hi-fi set below them. The stereo consoles were long cabinets with a wooden lid and inside was a record turntable(usually the kind you could stack records on for multiple playing), and a tape deck and radio. Here's one of our tv consoles from the 1980's. It now lives in the basement. The mind is a weird and mysterious place |

Yesteryear you needed a housewife to operate the TV set. It changed when the remote control was invented. |

All those TV sets bring back some memories. Any one else have a coal furnace with the old time steam radiators? loved coming in from outside and warming up against them. [/quote] Old James |
