I'm listening to a CD of Bocelli singing Verdi. (I copied my CD onto my computer at the office so I can listen while I work. Computers can be wonderful.) It brings back such strong, sweet memories of my father, long deceased. He loved Verdi and would listen to records (vinyl) of Verdi operas on the phonograph with his eyes closed and tears running down his face. Thanks and RIP, Dad.
