Music for Passover

Ellen spent the day in the kitchen listening to those Down From the Mountain and O Brother discs, but when guests arrived I cranked up the main system with Ernest Block's Sonatas et al. After a while this got a bit too melancholic, so Glijov's Kiddishbukk's music of the sephardim energized the ambience through the readings...and outstanding chicken soup and homemade salmon-based gefilte fish (quelle horreurs!). The jazz player among us got weary, so I followed with Mark O'Connor's Hot Swing Trio to at least continue the violins through a magnificent roast leg of lamb, but had to provide relaxation for salad and desert with some KD Lang/Tony Bennett crooning. Not bad...but I gained 2 lbs!
How about you?

OK, Rosstaman, I'll see your Lenny Bruce and raise you another Jackie Mason.

I know this sounds like a long shot but how about singing the songs that are in the haggadah.

As they say in poker, I've got the "nuts"...Buddy Hackett!

Fatparrot - with all that is now in the pot, I'd have to call, sit back, and laugh for several hours before dealing another hand! :-)
