I'm really gonna try to get my butt to the gym 3 times a week despite a Florentine schedule that bars one from any sort of routine personal schedule = that's a personal game and not really a resolution. Music is my Muse meaning I'm always looking forward to embracing more musical forms other than opera = if you know me then you understand that to mean 'rap' and 'country/western' for the rest of 'em I already appreciate on one level or another. I love it when art imitates life and hope my Camerata pals will grow to understand that most of their drama has already been put to music by some pretty terrific musicians = wishful thinking... Alas, I think I will resolve not to. I have resolved not to: yup, no resolutions for me.

It's nice to know someone is making an effort to remain loyal to they're choice of music. It is far too common for individuals to leap to the popular thing these days, and spin they're version of a piece of music which pulls this piece away from the it's original intention. I hope she continue to do so. It's tiresome to have to look to music from the past to enjoy anything resembling a clean or pure sound.
