    My wife and I went to see him perform with the Cincinnati Symphony last week (he's not in the Symphony, he sings with the Cincinnati May Festival Choir), and then we met up for a drink (he got us the tickets). He's not posting much due to some moderator issues, but I think he's lurking a bit.

    Poem for Rex

    Rex is still in Cincinnati
    and he’s still making the scene
    Out and about, dressing natty
    seeing it all with vision keen

    Wonder where he has got to ?
    You wonder where he went?
    Or what he has been through?
    Well Rex is still a gent

    He’s at the clubs shining brightly
    At the ballet, seeing the show
    At the party laughing loudly
    Rex Tremende is good to go

    He is still his own man
    With his big booming voice
    He will do what he can
    Because it’s still his choice

    And a gentleman has his pride
    And a man’s reasons are his own
    It was up to Rex to decide
    To stay or to head out alone

    Let us wish the man well
    A class act all the way!
    Who amongst us could tell
    If he’ll come back to stay

    So Rex is in Cincinnati
    And he’s still making the scene
    Out and about, dressing natty
    Seeing it all with vision keen
    -See it there, a white plume
    Over the battle - A diamond in the ash
    Of the ultimate combustion-My panache

    I too have wondered about him. Glad that he is OK.

    Yes people come and go and come again. Isn't that life in general?

    Should I be jealous? Naw, I've known for long time that I'm not the only one he writes poetry about-it just keeps his creativity fresh.

    Be well,

    Tremende-ous to see you back Rex!

    And Panache I couldn't help but give in to my rhyming bent in a similar vein:

    Rex Tremende from Cincinnati
    A man of culture and of style
    With dress sense smart and never tatty
    His posts to Xmarks make us smile.



    I believe Ohioans pronounce it Cincinnata, all the ones I have met seem to?
