If you didn’t know about it before, you certainly will now.
Dutch TV series Blauw Bloed (Blue Blood) chronicles the latest news and events in the royal families of Europe – specifically the Dutch Royal House headed by Queen Beatrix.
I wasn’t aware that this program existed, but thanks to a nice trip through the depths of YouTube, I found a “promo” video. It looks great and definitely made me want to watch the program, even though I don’t speak or understand Dutch at all. Ah, the power of Royalty!
America’s got talent! Word on the street is that our Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice has brought down the house with her piano skills. Buck House, that is.
Ms. Rice has played since childhood and has become a master in her craft. Her given name is even derived from the Italian musical expression, Con dolcezza. Her dream venue was Buckingham Palace, with the Queen as an audience member.
As the U.S. Secretary of State, you get to pull a few strings. One of those strings led Condoleezza right into the Queen’s home with Her Majesty as a rapt member of the audience – just as Ms. Rice always wanted.
She performed along with three members of the London Symphony Orchestra and Foreign Secretary David Milliband’s wife, Louise.
