Warmest greetings Ari
Thank you for the video of Eileen. I have been out of the UK for the last 3 weeks, arrived back home last evening. The video is unavailable here, but I found an identical one Eileen recorded in 1959. She really did put her heart and soul into that . Am I right in thinking she is related to you in some way ?
Here is a little gift in return. Very different to yours :) I hope you enjoy it. Happy Christmas. jg

So friedlich. Thank you, jazzgirl.

No, not related, but she's from my hometown and was in high school with my parents. My mother said it was quite the moment when she sang "I'm Called Little Buttercup" in the school production of Pinafore- a touch of humor because she was quite the hefty lass, but she blew everyone's socks off. I always thought she was a breath of fresh air at the Met, hardly the Maria Callas type, being married to a cop and all. An astounding voice; her Wagner was as if from the depths of the earth.

A trip abroad? Tahiti again?

Merry Christmas!

Just kidding about Tahiti. Aren't you afraid of earthquakes, and fire, and predatory producers?
