Here's a tune from 1962 by Ray Charles

That rings just as true today as it did 60 some years ago. The B-side of "Hit the Road Jack." Both written by the great Percy Mayfield.

I guess things never change.

Soprano Leontyne Price turned 97 today

Opera isn't everyone's cup of tea, and though I worked for an opera company for 20+ years, I don't listen to it much. But this morning when I turned on my go-to online station, I heard this absolutely stunning voice singing "Vissi d'arte" from Tosca and was nearly turned to tears. It was Price, played in honor of her birthday. Later, I also heard her sing "O Patria Mia" from Aïda, a role which launched her career at the Met. Somewhere here I have an old LP of her singing Samuel Barber's "Hermit Songs", which she premiered with him in 1953. I must find a CD transfer of that.

Bugs Bunny... "Leopold!" - YouTube

This is what brought me to appreciate opera....

This is what brought me to appreciate opera....

One of the orchestra members in Vancouver Opera told me that many years ago an Italian conductor - new to N. America - came in for a production and he was astounded when they told him at a party afterwards that cartoons were the first introduction to opera music for a lot of kids!

As I type this I can still hear Elmer Fudd singing "Kill the wabbit! Kill the wabbit!" to the tune of the Ride of the Valkyries.
