I called the great Magda Olivero

on her birthdays.For me, she was

a MIRACOLO...Her 104 years gave

opera such joy..She still had voice

at over 100.I know her caretaker.

Not a big luscious tone..but such

emotion and LOVE!!!!!

It was 1955...Gigli did three Carnegie

Recitals...at 65..I remember only

that he was a sensation. Could have

sung 10 plus more years,but in

1957 he passed away (on the same

day Renata's mother died.).

GIGLI was a GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

sung with that "new guy" whom

I know since 1971 Bolena.

Bartolo and Basilio!!!!!

Since I have watched more TV and

also have made 40 groups on

Facebook...it is because I will NOT

go to the Met,even if Zinka and my

dear buddy Baum returned..People

have had vaccinations, worn masks,

and still got sick...so now I am SCANNING

and you will see some enjoyable photos

from my past life!!!!!!

 You know,since I started this podcast,

there are close to 2 MILLION HITS!

Sad that I cannot get comments,

because you get commercials..but

WRITE ME at Placido21@aol.com

(Placido is Jan.21 also,as you know,

but I am celibate.

  Love  Charlie,

Terrible tragedy to lose

two great artists whom I

knew.I write to Giordani's

widow and always remember

dear Marcello and Hvorostovsky's

kisses on my cheeks.

One does not have to sound

like Birgit Nilsson to be a

great star. Regina Resnik's

teacher was Giuseppe Danise,

married to Sayao.One night,at

a Resnik Gioconda,Sayao spent

the whole intermission with us.

A DELIGHT!!!!
