thx joe. 1st heard safina sing “your song” duet w/ ewan mcgregor in the film moulin rouge. I’m an andrea bocelli fan so naturally I like safina. wonder why he’s never dipped his toe in the american market. he’s been on PBS as I recall. I’m glad to learn there’s at least one other person out there who isn’t a sarah brightman fan. I just don’t understand what all the fuss is about. her thin voice is reminiscent of a young choir boy but w/ vibrato...ewe. there’s an old recording that sharply contrasts this quality. while married to andrew lloyd webber she sang pia jesu from webber’s requiem w/ paul miles-kingston, a remarkably gifted treble who sang the alto line.

Some of you know that for many years I traveled internationally for our government. There are very few countries that I haven't been to for at least a day or two. During those travels I've been schooled in many things that are completely different to the "American" way of thinking. Food is different; music is different; politics are different; family life is different. The biggest lesson I learned was that different didn't mean wrong. My family was nearly completely gaelic (Yes, I have the t-shirt "Mom . . . Dad . . . I'm Gaelic") and music was a big part of our lives. I learned to play many musical instruments and was in the band in jr high, high school, and got a scholarship in college. I sang until puberty changed my voice, but still play around with it. During my travels, I discovered that when I don't understand the words that are being sung, it gives me the opportunity to concentrate on the music itself, and it was a liberating experience. Recently, one of the roommates has been seriously obsessed with Sarah Brightman. I don't care much for her because I think the "over the top" theatrics of her concerts dimishes her talent which is amazing. However, one concert in Vienna named "Symphony" introduced me to an internationally known tenor named Alessandro Safina. He's an amazing, sexy man with a voice that can cause orgasms simply by listening to him. I've attached some youtube vids if anyone is interested. I apologize that it's not sports related, but he's way too good to not share. The last two are the duets with Sarah and are what made me fall for him like a ton of bricks. Hope you enjoy, and tomorrow back to the sports guys, I promise!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AIiY0Fvrrrw&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DPjvQnZK_PU&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wLe0Gc7jE7g&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fuKWwXhL8rY&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fq7rXYbc3YU http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a20qMz7shSU&feature=related -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "omnisport" group.
