Carl Reiner Chases his Operatic Dream...What a charming video!Sometimes it's nice to post a video for no other reason than that it's a delightful discovery.So here, from the Conan O'Brien show on CNN some while back, is the great comedian Carl Reiner--aged 91--fulfilling his dream to sing opera. Bass-Baritone John Shirley-Quirk, Legendary Britten Interpreter, Dead at 82
The English bass-baritone John Shirley-Quirk, one of the greatest of his generation, has died aged 82.
