Billie's Blues by Thetis
Open full image in new tabDescription
I saw a fabulous piece about her life with excellently interpreted songs of her at the local theatre. It was a very intense experience.
Thetis was a sea nymph, one of the Nereids, daughter of Nereus (the god of the sea) and Doris. She was fated to bear a son who would be mightier than his father. Fearing for his dominion, Zeus gave Thetis as bride to a mortal, Peleus. Him she bore the son Achilles, whom she tried unsuccessfully to make immortal. The mostly known version of that is, that she dipped the child in the river Styx holding him by the heel; all the parts that the river touched became invulnerable, but the heel. Achilleus fate was to live happy with his family and die unknown or be to become a great hero. He decided to fight and die heroic at Troy.

And a great tribute this is! Did you model the microphone yourself, or did you get it somewhere? Cause I've been looking for a prop like that for a while now with no success...
