Just a way to say thanks

                            


I posted for Valentine's Day. That was my first holiday or special day commemoration.  Most times these days creep up on me and I totally miss posting about them.

Today, I thought I would dedicate this Independence Day to the 19 firemen who were killed fighting a wildfire in Arizona a few days ago. There are so many who give their lives to keep us safe and free. It was a hard choice deciding who to honor. So, I give my thanks to all who have given their lives in any way for our country.

  7. What a lovely tribute! I hope you had a nice 4th of July weekend. Oh...btw, I love Puccini and especially, 'Gianni Schicchi'. That counter-tenor from the show was amazing! With a little training he could go very far as there are not many singers who can pull off a falsetto like that.

  8. Hi John,

    I guess my favorite opera is Madame Butterfly, My favorite ballet is The Little Mermaid and I purchased mostly concertos.
    To think that was natural without training.
    I wonder what made him realize he could do that. LOL
