feature films for fools

my uncle tony has been in the utah opera chorus for 18 years.  18 years!

i learned this just last month when i went with my mom to see him in

rigoletto at the capitol theater because there was an entire article about

him in the program.  what can i say, i rub elbows - and share dna - with

some pretty important people.

the show was a hit to say the least.  if i could sing like those folks, i probably

wouldn't give myself such a headache when i belt it in the car...and i would

also probably make a lot more money than i do, too.  anyway, it was a great

night, and very educational.  i learned that

a) tony hates it when people call phantom of the opera an opera.

b) i'd better not tell my uncle what my favorite "opera" is.

c) before we saw the show i thought i knew the story of rigoletto from

 watching the feature films for families version when i was a teenager,

but, in fact, fff has no idea what the hell they are talking about.

thanks, uncle tony & aunt kris, for the tickets!  it was fun to have a night

on the town with my momma...even if she did stiff our waiter on his tip.

not really.  she tried.
