#D166 (directorial to dirigible)


Listen Later

I read from directorial to dirigible.

 

 

The word "dirge", in our current usage, basically just comes from the first word of a psalm that I think was said/sung at funerals.

The audio is from possibly the most famous dirge/funeral song which is Chopin's "Funeral March".

The word of the episode is "director's cut".
