Panel 3 has a different coloured animal on the mug and top has changed colour after panel 1.The colourist must have been having a bad day.

LOL am I the only one who went straight to youtube to search the tune? Sounds pretty sad….

The Very Rich have tastes we peons shall never comprehend….I’m not a Mahler fan.

Nobody listen to Mahler’s chamber music… it’s even very difficult to find any recording (I tried, 20 years ago).

I can’t get “Kindertotenlieder” out of my head!!

(I recommend the excellent 1974 Ken Russell movie “Mahler”, but be sure they didn’t cut out the scene with Cosima Wagner dressed as a Nazi dominatrix forcing Mahler to jump literally through flaming hoops. Gotta love Ken Russell.)

Sir is back!

I’ve had Tannhauser’s Song to the Evening Star stuck in my head since the Saturday broadcast of said opera.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZdjKH5u9urc

On public radio, an NPR program played Delius’ Florida Suite, then two different local announcers did in the next few days. So I’ve had that running for a couple weeks. It’s a lovely piece which I had on vinyl 30 years ago, but not something you want to hear all day long.

Funny… I have had M. Renoir’s ditty stuck in my head; hadn’t heard it in decades. Between Google and YouTube, here it is for you all to “enjoy”: www.youtube.com/watch?v=BiQLEjeTxWg

It could be worse, it could be “Afternoon Delight”.

Good afternoon Sedgie Fans (or not). Fortunately, there is not music stuck in my head (so far). Have a great day my friends.

Play yourself some Monteverdi – I always found “Beatus vir” would clear out any old rubbish…
