When I'm at work I like to have some kind of music playing. I never like total silence. Since my job involves talking on the phone, I always choose classical as that is the least distracting. It's nice "background" music. iTunes has a nice selection of Classical radio stations, and I have stumbled onto a station out of San Francisco that I particularly like, KDFC. They have a great blend of traditional well-known classical, like Beethoven's 5th, but also modern classical, like John Williams' Star Wars Theme. I logged on today, and as I am sitting at my desk I hear the strains of Rossini's "Barber of Seville." Immediately a smile breaks out on my face because the instant image that came into my head was that of Bugs Bunny in a Barber's coat massaging the head of Elmer Fudd. That particular "Bugs Bunny" cartoon is my all-time favorite! Of course that memory brought every other to follow. See if these quotes conjure up memories for you. "Leopold! Leopold!," "Fi-Ga-Ro! Fi-Ga-Ro!," "Oh, Bwunhilda, you're so wove-wy!," "Norf Winds Bwow, Souf winds bwow!" "Kill de Wabbit!" You get the picture! In this PC world of today, my old friend, Bugs, has come under attack for violence, but I never dropped an anvil on anybody's head thinking they would bounce back, and I grew up with the bunny every Saturday morning. I did, however, gain a love for classical music. I just didn't know it. I miss my Looney Tunes. All I can say is, "Thank God for YouTube!" So, enjoy "The Rabbit of Seville."
