>How low can you get, TEd ?
A profundo observation! Which reminds me of a story!
Tenors are like this. Note the use of the word, "fabulous!"
Behind their friendly faces, rumor has it that Luciano Pavarotti and
Placido Domingo hate each other's guts. One day they ran into
each other at the airport:
"Placido, long time no see, how are you?"
"Fabulous, Luciano. I just got back from La Scala, the theatre
filled to the brim, and frankly I sang divinely. I had to come out
and bow 35 times at the end of the night, and a statue of the Virgin
Mary they have next to the stage started crying. How about you, how
are your concerts?"
"Oh man, this last concert in New York really was something else.
I have never sung better. Full house; arias, canzonettas,
encores..people were going crazy! I had to come out and bow 62
times, and at the end something incredible happened. There was a
life-size Jesus next to the stage; He got off his cross and, hugging
me, said "Luciano, you really sing beautifully, not like that goddamn
Spaniard who made mom cry."
