Some opera singers I can take....but most I can't.

That's why some singing sets my teeth on edge.....i.e. Jane Powell and Kathryn Grayson....that annoying trilling drives me crazy.

I like to hear Jeanette MacDonald and I love Deanna Durbin, but they are not particularly known as opera singers.

I also like the Naked Hercules, although there is a tenor in that opera that pretty much walks off with the show there....well...the SINGING show....

Zachary Stains is the Naked Hercules.

MR BK - Lisa McCoy who is playing Grace Farrell in our ANNIE, mentioned a Sondheim song last night and said it is her favorite and that she didn't have a recording of it.....it was a song from EVENING PRIMROSE.....

I checked today and it is still available on the website, so I am taking her that info tonight....she'll probably order it in the next couple of days. Very nice, talented lady.....her husband is the President of DePauw....

So you may get her $$ order in a day or so.

I have to step out around 9:30 to see the pain specialist who's been giving me the epidurals. This is an office visit, so I have no idea what will occur.

Hope it went well!

Very well. It was a checkup on my progress. I will have a knee injection in two weeks.

Good news DR ELMORE.

One year ago today, I received a call from my nurse practitioner telling me to go to the Emergency Room....NOW!

It's been some 365 days, but I have lived to tell the tale. Thanks to everyone at HHW for all of the vibes! They are still working!

For dog lovers.... A bit of light entertainment if you didn't see this on my FB page. It is the last half of the video that makes me chuckle.

Favorite opera singer: Nathan Gunn. I've only seen him in the concert versions of Carousel and Camelot.

Jrand73 · « **Reply #54 on:** April 26, 2018, 12:36:53 PM »

Oh Nathan Gunn....yes.

There was an opera singer YEARS AGO who had been at the NY Met....and her reception was mixed....some people booed her....some people liked her.

She was on The Mike Douglas Show of all things....and came out and sang "Over the Rainbow" - and she was awful.

Renata Scotto.....nope....I can imagine how she laughed.

Here she is butchering one of my favorites.
