There's an angel that lies at the bottom of the well

1. rose_lemberg sent me a CD of Frank London's A Night in the Old Marketplace and a piece of sea-blue Roman glass from Caesarea. You understand why this is such a marvelous pair of gifts, but I may have to write something to explain it anyway.

2. This is a terrific poem.

3. With any luck, there will still be tickets tonight for the restored print of The African Queen (1951) at the Brattle Theatre.

So far, some week!

I'm glad you liked! That was the largest piece of Roman glass I've ever found.

I like very much! Where exactly did you find it?

It's a beautiful color, like foam.

Roman glass comes in a few colors, but this is the most usual (and the most beautiful, imho). Found around here: http://www.ianandwendy.com/Israel/Caesarea/Caesarea-03-Caesarea%20Beach.jpg
Only a very short segment of the beach was open, but this is great - last time I visited, all of it was closed.
The open segment of the beach is very polluted right now, which explains why nobody else wanted to venture down there, but I don't care. I found pottery shards and smaller pieces of glass too.

It's very beautiful, even if it is polluted.

Question: would you be able to point me in the direction of lyrics to A Night in the Old Marketplace? There was no CD booklet, so I'm transcribing most of the songs I like, but it wouldn't hurt to be able to check them.

Sorry, no - but there's always the play (I. L. Perez's Night at the Old Marketplace).
