Dreamed of a dark aria from Wagner's opera The Flying Dutchman being transformed into a jazzy song from ca. 1950 (the type Tony Bennett would sing); an expression "the Absolom of desolation" (instead of "abomination"); deciding that it was April Fool's Day and all this was my leg being pulled; being about to interview the late movie composer Elmer Bernstein; reflecting on the complexity of his score for The Magnificent Seven; looking on him name as a cross between Elmer Fudd and Leonard Bernstein.
My Coro Verdi choir sang in an afternoon mass at the Villa Colombo. We only had a small organ for accompaniment.
Dinner was ham.
Went through my new Terry and the Pirates Sundays till past midnight. I've been pretty lucky in plugging one-week holes and not having too many duplicates.
