Valentine’s memento mori: My annual posting of the skull of St. Valentine.
I hope you’ll join me for a paean to doomed love – including music from “Somewhere in Time” (John Barry), “The Ghost and Mrs. Muir” (Bernard Herrmann), “Always” (John Williams), and “Wuthering Heights” (Alfred Newman) – on “Picture Perfect,” this Friday evening at 6:00 EST, on WWFM – The Classical Network and wwfm.org.
Roses are red; Rosses are blue.
Here’s my annual posting of the skull of St. Valentine. Think of it as a memento mori.
Relationships die. You’ll die. I’ll die. Everything and everyone we’ve ever cared about will be gone eventually. But while we’re here, we can at least keep classical music on the radio.
Call now and make your Valentine’s donation to WWFM – The Classical Network at 1-888-232-1212. Or be bitter like me, circumvent humanity, and contribute online at wwfm.org.
Thank you for ensuring a modicum of beauty in our bleak existence.
