My TV

I know I keep banging on about my TV but I have spent a couple of hours watching some of the best musical programmes I have seen. The first was of Andre Rieu on his first visit to South Africa, where he introduced a black African young lady singer,Timmi to a terrific crowd of about 30,000 on Bloemfontein Football Stadium
She sang Bach's Ave Maria and there were tears from many of the crowd and almost of Andre himself. There were also tears when she sang the most popular of Africaan's love songs Serree Maree (How is it spelt Pete?) Take Me Back to the Old Transvaal, That's where I want to be.....a very emotive song - I had tears just watching the audience who were all standing and singing and crying at the same time.
The second programme I watched was of Swan Lake from the Royal Opera House. What a wonderful show and what terrific dancing and Tchaikovsky's wonderful music. I can now go to sleep happy. Goo' night to you all. love from Dad Boo Hoo !
