Oh, passin' the love o' women

I dreamed that Benjamin Britten had set both the first and second series of the Barrack-Room Ballads (1892 and 1896) for voice and piano; the recordings had just become available on CD. You should have heard Peter Pears on "Follow Me 'Ome."

I love dreams that include tangible, describable objects that don't, in our waking world, exist.

I think I've commented to you before about looking through my parents' albums, in dreams, and discovering interesting Beatles albums that don't exist. One I've always remembered was covered with 2" x 2" photos of them, in rows across the front.

Did you get to listen to the recordings?

I wish I could have eavesdropped on that dream.

Oh my. I wish I could have heard those CDs.

All I can remember of my dreams last night is a conversation about firearms. I think someone was showing off a collection of revolvers from an alternate history, but they weren't nearly as interesting as one would hope them to be.
