My Little Angel


My Little Angel

I could hear this a hundred times. And she sang just the way she can, my little angel, not the way educated singers were taught.

Play it softly. Hear a nightingale singing in the woods.

This is a beautiful line of Mascagni.


So said my Choir Conductor.

Quarrels Of Old Age


Quarrels Of Old Age

“Why are you so angry when I can’t get what you’re saying, you devil. Am I angry when you don’t grasp what I’m saying?”

“No. You never got angry. Ha. Ha.”

She’s such a  dear little devil, though but Opa Johan didn’t say it.

Is There Any Drink As Good As Water?


Is There Any Drink As Good As Water?

Perhaps water at long last, is the best drink, Only  after running the marathon, or  lost in a dessert, so thirsty then, there’s nothing as good as water. And I thought of the rich man, who wanted Lazarus to give him just a drop of water when he was in hell. Water then becomes a heavenly drink,, better than honey, wine, beer, milk, ...

Yet, this is even better: ”But might I of Jove’s nectar sip, I would not change for thine (my lover’s kiss)” says Ben Jonson.

Old Man, One Man Show


Old Man, One Man Show

And there he is the old man, perching on the right side of his theater. He survives, supports himself with his “one man show” street performance. Before, he played beneath a tree and now he has a stage. He’s got imagination, courage.
