Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2 by Franz Liszt

Last week's pneumonia has now affected 4/5ths of the family. I've recovered, but now my wife has it and both the boys have fever. Apparently we were all infected by the canaries with chlamydia psittacci. Needless to say, the foul fowls have been evicted. Person to person infection is extremely rare so, Trep, you are safe (you ol' germaphobe you!).

As a result I'm not at work. The upside of all this is the "quality" time I'm spending with our youngest child. We are watching lot's of DVD's together. And his (and my) favorites are the Bugs Bunny shorts.

My favorites are the musical cartoons and my all time favorite is "Rhapsody Rabbit" based on Franz Liszt's Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2.

I have several versions of the Hungarian Rhapsodies but this was the first one I ever heard and it still makes me laugh. So here it is:
