Have you actually seen any of Mozart’s operas? He wrote more than church music you know.

That all depends upon how many dodgeball movies I have to watch 🤯😱:crazy_face:

hawk, off to play some Merle Haggard
 
I guess you could stick to the really wholesome, family-oriented stuff like this.

 
I always wanted to sing this aria but never had a good F. 😦 Eb is the closest I come.

As a UK band, the word “Queen” also refers to Her Majesty, the Queen of England.

Now that raises a question for me:

When British military regiments are titled “Queen’s Own”, is that a reference to Queen Elizabeth I, Queen Elizabeth II, the band Queen, Freddie Mercury, or Elton John?
 
The Queen’s Own means that the “crown” (the queen) personally created or sponsored something.
 
Man, there are youtube videos and websites “proving” that the Pope is a satanist and the Church is diabolical. There are a lot of them. I am glad I choose to ignore that Jack Chick type nonsense.
 
I never even heard of Jack Chick until I started posting here. My husband, who was raised Baptist had never heard of him until I told him about him.
 
I know right. The other aria too, but I don’t think I’ll ever sing that high.
 
Disney has come kind of close to that with some of their villains. Pamina’s and Papageno’s near death scenes might be worse.

Good for him. Chick tracts can be a traumatic read.

The King (currently Queen) is the official Colonel of such regiments, although another is sent to act on his behalf, as I understand things.

The regiment was (is?) the basic unit of the British military, and the historic reason for mustering the troops in formation was to count them–as the colonel’s pay was based on his head count.

For much of US (and CSA) history, in wartime someone might become a colonel by raising and arming a regiment and presenting it.
