Geoff, if that wasn't a bit of synchroncity. To wit: I was just thinking of the song "Mariah" as the tenth page was downloading here. I thought, "Hm, there's Mariah in the song, and Tess, I think...were there any others mentioned?"
And then I read your post.
Are there any others mentioned in that song?

Anything more about Mariah would be "moria" (Courtesy of the Phrontistery means "folly".)

mentioned?"

Even though I'm a snobbish classical music fan, I've gotta admit I really liked Frankie Laine, who did "Mariah."

Geoff, I, too, am a big classical music fan. I don't think of myself as being a snob; however, no music compares to classical (used broadly here, but I know we understand each other).
I also enjoyed that old recording of "Mariah." Haunting and melliflous with that driving undercurrent of rhythm that captured the movement of a wind. Thanks for Tess and Joe.
Best regards,
WW

Good point, Max, but I wonder whether there's any wind in the sails and perhaps we've hit the doldrums...
Best regards,

With this post, this thread is dead. It's three sheets to the wind (or three sheets in the wind), though I still don't understand exactly how that looks in sails.
I wish I had a way to print all the 100 posts out, but I only get the first page.
Wistfully winded over many enjoyable reads and thankful for the humorous and edifying replies,
Windy
