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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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!!!!
