Dorie, your favorite Krall CD is mine also. She is superb. Speaking of cartoons, would Heinz be horrified to know that probably for most Americans our first and best acquaintance with classical music comes from 'toons, ala Bugs Bunny and Beethoven's Fifth. Classical music is pervasive in animated works. We may not be able to "name that tune" or the composer, but we all know the score and can hum right along. I have been pondering the notion of having Chopin's Funeral March (picture Wile E. Coyote, with wings, halo, and harp, ascending to heaven) played on my "big" day. I would like to give what mourners might be either something to laugh about or really cry over. <G> Theola ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mike and Dorie Brennecke" <doitnow@netins.net> To: <GERMAN-LIFE-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, June 10, 2001 6:08 AM Subject: Re: [GERMAN-LIFE] NO MAIL | Excellent suggestion, Theola.

Re things German: I was pleasantly surprised when I finally learned that the William Tell Overture was the accompaniment for both the riotous and the placid in Bugs Bunny and a few other cartoons. Stan from Livonia, Michigan new e-mail address cownabor@htdconnect.com
