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.

I don't know what to add to Wiki's article about Marlene_Dietrich.
Vera Lynn perhaps that also sang that song.. .

I liked it back when tv's and stereo systems were pieces of furniture in the living room.

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.

Yesteryear you needed a housewife to operate the TV set.

It changed when the remote control was invented.
