Happy New Year!!!







Die Fledermaus - Im Feuerstrom der Reben

The link above will explain this light hearted operetta by Johann Strauss II.  Often performed on New Years Eve because the count does like to party and  "The Campagne Song" that closes Act II is a wonderful salute to the bubbly.

Despite the German, I'm sure you can figure out that all these folks had one whale of a ball. So What did you do for New Year's Eve?

I've been counting down all the 12 days of Christmas to go with this post. It will run through Jan 6 and Advent. Enjoy.

What is it about this song? It keeps running through my head. I don't know what they are saying but they are having a lot of fun.

If Strauss lived today, I wonder what he would be writing. Hit Broadway musicals? Rock and roll anthems? Catchy commericial jingles?
