Fun With Literature Retraction: |

My apologies to those mystified few who actually tried to sing 'Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God' to the tune of "The Yellow Rose of Texas".
I was wrong. It's not 'SitHoaAg', it's another sermon, the name of which I forget, by the early colonial clergyman Michael (get this) Wigglesworth. Yep, that was actually his name.
So instead, I would like to offer any budding DU actors just this. "My Last Duchess" by Robert Browning is a KILLER audition piece. Simply a superb monologue in poem form.

1. Do you know that every Emily Dickinson poem... |
|
can be sung to the tune of "Frosty the Snowman"?
It's true. Try it.

Emily Dickinson - "The Yellow Rose of Texas" ("Because I could not stop for Death, he kindly stopped for me."
Frost's "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening" - "Hernando's Hideaway"
and, my favorite...
"Ode to Joy" - "My Darlin' Clementine"

I find Auld Lang Syne to be an easier fit.
