Musical Interlude: OK, to add something bizarre and macabre to Valentine's Day....This started as a work by Edward Gorey that he meant to illustrate, but never got around. He sent a bunch of his writings to the group The Tiger Lillies, of which he was fond, and allowed them to set them to music. (The Gorey estate, I understand, is none too happy about this....) And this became a show, and later album, "The Gorey End."

The Tiger Lillies aren't for everyone, and while I like them, I don't expose them to all and sundry because they can be a bit off-putting. This is one of the more accessible albums, and my personal favorite track.

"The Weeping Chandelier," performed by the Tiger Lillies with the Kronos Quartet.

@carolski oh and finally 😂 the Edward Gorey House in Yarmouth Port, MA, USA.

Was his residence for decades and parts of it have been kept somewhat like it was when he lived there.

I was really fortunate to have visited it right after it was opened and before they had "museum-ified" it, so it was REALLY like he was still living there and had just stepped out of the room for a moment.

Just saw #TheMagicFlute by #Mozart at #SFOpera, and it was abolutely lovely!

Tonight was one of the final dressed rehearsals, and oh boy it's a such fun visual reimagining—done in an homage to silent films, 1920's-era cabaret, early Hollywood animation, and #EdwardGorey. 🤩

The historic SF War Memorial Opera House is always a treat to visit and the performances were equally stellar. If you are in the area, go get tickets. sfopera.com/operas/the-magic-f

A still image from the performance of Mozart's The Magic Flute, as performed by San Francisco Opera. It shows three performers in the center in 1920's fashion, standing on platforms looking down two men in suits with faces painted white looking up. The entire background has two "phrenology-style head graphics showing the inner working of each brain with gears and words and details... out of the two eyes there is light projected down on the two actors standing on the stage floor. The entire backdrop is projected onto a flat black background which gives the stage a surreal multi-dimension. Quite a presentation to complement the fabulous music of the show.

Thank you, Santa @drlangraad, for making a return trip and for my newest favorite piece of all time. (If I make it through the day without moving it again, it will truly be a Christmas miracle.) 🎄
If there was ever a piece of art that reflected me more, I have yet to see it.

Framed in warm, brown wood with emerald green inset matting, signed by the artist Edward Gorey, an old man sits reading in peaceful repose in the shadows of an enormous green arm chair. Behind him, a towering bookcase looms comfortingly packed with countless volumes waiting to be read. Hidden on top of the bookcase, within the bookcase, on his lap, and by his side, rest his beloved cats drowsing serenely with their best friend by their side.

Now, things get weird.

Writer & illustrator Edward Gorey sent a box of unpublished stories to a band, which they made into songs.

Sadly, before he could hear them, Mr Gorey died.

When Baby Boo was struck by lightning
The experts think perhaps he'll walk
And even sort of learn to talk …"
