New month: today is the birthday of Chopin and Ricardo Kanji, see my stories of today and yesterday, with dream music by the first and Bach played by the other. -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:09, 1 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Kanji sounds more Japanese! ♦ Dr. Blofeld 17:39, 1 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Are you interested in Monika Lundi, referencing and improving translation? Bastian's sweetheart. I added links and copied ills, but have no more time for her. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:42, 2 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

She didn't last very long! I'll have a look later. Can I tempt you to join Wikipedia:WikiProject Europe/The European Destubathon? Even if you don't want prizes you're welcome to sign up and contribute like you would normally. Entries will be tipped into the Europe challenge and hopefully we can set 20 or 25,000 as the new target! ♦ Dr. Blofeld 15:17, 2 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Lundi just said something about her "Schatz" when he died, and now also died. I'm not happy about the rape allegation (another of my subjects, small world.) - Ask me again when I'm less busy, - I haven't had time to update the Europe challenge. We certainly destubbed Ferenc Rados ;) - Looking forward to Carmen's 150th "birthday" tomorrow, - the Met presented a version recorded in 2010 yesterday, related to the occasion. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:02, 2 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Today: Carmen turns 150, as the main page and my story tell you. I chose a 1962 concert of the Habanera, - enjoy! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 17:06, 3 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Updated the Europe list: less than 200 left! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:11, 4 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
