My favorites are Pavarotti, of course, and Mario Lanza.

I think their hearts were ripped out or turned black by Cthulhu, because no one ditches Prince for Michael Bolton. NO ONE.

My grandfather lurved Pavarotti! He was more a German composer person.There was a wonderful classical station in SF for many years that played a lot of opera, plus SF Opera, and if you go to matinees, it's a good deal.Love Wagner, but weep buckets at the Ring Cycle 😶 gorgeously sung opera takes you right out of yourself.Thanks, again!My Mario Lanza intro was South Pacific.....life in the boonies 😏

This just made me feel super-cozy, and now I'm off to fix my bucket list.

Also, I saw "a BRUNCH of gods", and that's what I'm saying now.

A urologist shared a floor with my dad's office. His slogan: "If you can't tinkle, call Dr. Winkle!"
