    Well, since the title has to be the song, it's easy enough to google it.... :D

    I dunno - I keep trying to figure out how I can do "Che gelida manina" or "Winterstuerme" or something. Unfortunately, it seems that opera really digs winter instead of summer.... rolleyes1.gif (And would the artist be the composer or the singer.... hmmm..... ):lol4



    Diva.. I love Pavarotti... Especially the duet he does with Celine in English..hehehe.. this way I get to understand what he is saying..:D This one gives me goosebumps every time I listen to it.. ahhhhhhhhh Pavarotti.... rolleyes1.gif

    :help somebody stop my head from spinning!!

    I started thinking and all of a sudden I got one idea and it was like a dam broke and songs started rushing in... so fast I haven't been able to write them all down.
    The ideas are all here... now to try to capture what I am seeing in my mind!!
    I am exhausted now! :whew (google probably is too! Laughing.gif)

    Thanks Kerry!!! I LOVE this theme. If nothing else I get to listen to great music I haven't thought of in a while.

    oh yes Donna... Same thing here.. Talk about a walk down memory lane...

    I forgot half of these songs existed.... I think the deciding factor for me is going to be which one I can "actually" pull off.. :D

    wave.gif I have a question please:

    Does our image have to illustrate the lyrics of the song, or can we just interpret the title of the song in our own way? :confused

    Oh... this should be a good one for you with the likes of operas like Carmen and Madame Butterfly.

    Maybe with the air conditioning turned on really cold you can pull off "Che gelida manina". rolleyes1.gif

    Well Christopher.... Paralysis is not the problem.. It is the realization of the hundreds of songs in my head.. Already worked on Jefferson Starship and tried to shoot some pics of Nashville onto my husbands Fender.. NO Luck there!!!

    It did not work out at all....I have other ideas, but it is going to come down to which one I can actually pull off.. Funny Jen mentioned Jimmy Buffet,,, I had Cheeseburger in Paradise as a back up plan on my long list. HA HA..rolleyes1.gif

    I was wondering about the staged representations... I thought you might run into that... Are you going to shoot for more mainstream now? Any particular genre in mind?headscratch.gif

    Can somebody please help me with what this "IMO" stands for?

    It's been often used here, but...

    I did a google search and only found:

    International Maritime Organization

    International Meteor Organization

    International Mathematical Olympiad

    etc.... headscratch.gif

    BTW: have you ever loved Beatles in your teenage years?...mwink.gif

    Nah... there will be nothing left of this one, guarantee...rolleyes1.gif

    But I think that trying to shoot Carmen outside of Spain, or Madame Butterfly outside of Japan,
    it would be like trying to get the antique greek spirit in Nashville, so... ne_nau.gif
