I just found the son of my

darling Virginia Zeani on

facebook. Alessandro is a

doctor and now I feel

"part of the family." The

way she sings "CAAAAro"

says so much about her.

Lucky to have had  "three

madres" in my life...My own

ma,Virginia, and Renata.

Dear friends,

 I have posted here and  on

other forums for so long

I know I may repeat,and

you have archives also.

However,I do not recall

the zillions of things and do

not want to post hip-hop

so bear with me and enjoy

what I post(or skip it).My

buddy from 1977,Diana,did

a fabulous Violetta here with

BRONCHITIS!!! She is really

something.

Not Jimmie Cagney

but a great man!!!!!

A marvelous company

with innovative

ideas.BUY the Elektra.

I think you will love

it. My 2nd favorite

opera.

Nowadays,in every venue,

they all sing (usually down

a third) this aria. The very

great Sirach von Bodengraven

joins in. Povero Puccini.

  I came to love Piotr

as a great artist and

friend.One of the

special singers today.
