start along Appian Way and take a detour when approaching SNL Opera Man skit

Driving on the road while radio station KUSC airs Pines of Rome piece.

Ottorino Respighi - Pines of Rome https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BBcNFcMZmEg


When getting to this part ...

.... - The final movement (tempo di marcia) portrays pine trees along the Appian Way. Misty dawn: a legion advances along the Via Appia in the brilliance of the newly-risen sun, I might remember the piece was played by Phantom Regiment drum corps (DCI) back in mid 1980s....but nope...not this time.

Instead it was Adam Sandler's Opera Man character narrated by presenter late Phil Hartmann....the voiceover for Simpson's "Hi, I'm Troy McLure. You may remember me ...."
Adam does his part, but I prefer Phil's presentation being much more entertaining.


Phil, Sam Kinison, Dennis Wolfberg.....creative artists and/or comedians gone way too early.

Opera Man Cold Opening - SNL

Phil Hartman welcomes Opera Man (Adam Sandler) to SNL for a special performance in which Opera Man sings about scratching off a lottery ticket that could win him a million dollars, but he tragically falls one number short of winning the cash prize. [Season 19, 1993]
