All I ask of You    I am not a fan of Andrew Lloyd Webber's music, especially any thing in the rock music vein. The only song I admire is " All I Ask Of Yoiu"  from Phantom of the Opera." It is more in the classic melodic style of Jerome Kern and Richard Rodgers.
Here it is sung by Rebecca Luker, a Broadway veteran and fine actress. Ii is sung with the Morman Tabernacle Choir and orchestra.

TORONTO : Pick Yourself Up after Kawhi departure.  Yes ,it is disappointing that Kawhi has decided to retun to LA with the Clippers. I look forward to Kawhi and Paul George dismantling the arrogance of LeBron James and the Lakers. Leonard has taught Toronto and the country  the virtue of hard work, determination and modesty. These are profound lessons for all of Canada for which we should be collectively grateful.
 Jerome Kern's song" PickYourslf Up" says " Nothing's impossible I have found, for when my chin is on the ground. I pick myself up and start all over again."
Mel Torme and George Shearing provide a dynamic performance with the same improvisatioal verve Kawhi has shown on the court.
Hopefully , Masai Ujuri can continue to pull  more rabbits out of his managerial hat and make the Raptors even stronger for 2019/2020.
