I was offered a pair of tickets (and a date) by my lovely new friend from SQ. Needless to say, I'm ecstatic!

71 years young, 1000 recorded songs, and albums in 11 different languages. By far the top selling female performer of all time! She still looks good too, even to a young dude (well, not so young dude) like me.

What a classy lady!

I'm hyped.

Little Italian ladies do NOT like to be called Grandma.

"Nana, banana with the meatball eyes" she was okay with, but you call her grandma and she's whoopin your ass... all 4' 11" of her.

i must admit i never heard of her nor heard her sing until i dug out some clips on a web site.

toby is a trained vocalist and so is my son bradley. toby is almost 70 and while her upper register is a little lower now, the pipes are not rusty. bradley sings and acts in community theater and has a clean 2 1/2 octave range.

when i first heard montserrat cabbele singing "o mio babbino caro" i cried, and whenever i hear it again i cry again.

i listened to some of the clips of nana mouskouri. toby knew who she was but had never heard her sing.

the lady has some pipes. we are missing nfl kick off just to hear her clips. some things have priorities.

now you can do me a dollar or two favor. if you can find her cd "Only Love: The Best of Nana" please send it to me.

i am going to send you a post later that i was going to put on the thread about the two women and their adopted daughter. you and blood, and maybe pable can handle it but i doubt that anyone else on cbid could.

it's not that i lack the balls, but sometimes discretion is a good thing. i don't need the noise that would follow, nor the prayers for my death, if not direct threats to me, my family and my dogs and birds, any any blood relatives that is sure to follow.

your's and blood's opinion will be sufficient to satisfy me.

besides, i'm starting to get annoyed by rug. his wife doesn't seem to fit with him.

screw the last few paragraphs, i just listened to two more clips and i need to hear her again with complete songs. when the hair on my arms stand, i'm in.

thanks for the introduction to what will be great pleasure. enjoy the concert.

though not a big fan of the style of music, that woman can sing...makes me wonder why the hell celine dion makes so much $$$$

Very nice singer with ugly glasses.

Rick, due to unforeseen circumstances I haven't fully digested your e-mail, however, aside from an occasional profanity, I see nothing wrong with it- somewhat controversial but quite interesting. Btw, your posting style reminds me a little of Larry King except he has nothing important to say.

Update: your beautiful passion plants have over twenty blossoms and more than 50 buds so far. They have practically overtaken one side of my 12' shed.

i wonder if i sent you a "wandering jew" by mistake.

don't waste time making cuttings and trying to root them.

we shall talk and your green thumb, that you didn't know you had, will turn greener.

But it sounds like she isn't aging well.

Oh well.

I'm a little off today. Thanks to you Rug, I now have this mental picture of Elmer Fudd in leather pants.

So THIS is what its like to be mraven13. Huh.
