Oy vey! How long did it take you to think that one up? It's so relevant
to a discussion about the definition of the English expression "dress
rehearsal"! Do you seriously think that your continuing to post such
drivel will stop me picking your posts apart?

what is typically English. When did England have a King or Prime

How many times did he conduct the Grant Park orchestra when it was
formed from that of the Lyric Opera?
I'll assume that you've ceded all the other points. How's the geography
coming along? Any chance of catching one of your performances in Europe
soon? Or are you sticking to the provinces? Keep posting drivel and I'll
keep picking. Remember: if you can't take it don't dish it out.
Ciao, bella!
