Edita Gruberova had a rather

"eccentric" vocal sound, but

she  was amazing, and people

traveled all over to hear her.

I never saw him, but am told

the voice was exciting.Whenever

we hear thunder, we know he

is singing in heaven!

   The great Mario!!!!!

I was 15 and the first singer

I ever saw live was Mario

in my first opera, Aida.I saw

him 40 times, and the man

was sensational.He had a

"bronze column of sound"

from bottom to top.Loved this

man.He once came out and

said,"Hello,boys" in my poor

little ear!!!!
