i am in Asia where the sunset has begun and midnight is looming.
just wanted to take a moment to wish everyone a very happy and prosperous new year.
i have met many wonderful people here on this forum and feel that I have many new I friendships that I value sincerely.
While we make our wishes and resolutions let’s keep in mind compassion for those less fortunate than us and in particular the relatives of passengers and crew of the AirAsia Airbus that ditched not too far from where I am tonight.
“And there’s a hand my trusty friend! And give me a hand o’ thine! And we’ll take a right good-will draught, for auld lang syne.”
With the help of a few “friends” (from a performance we saw at The Met) raising a glass - Negroni, of course - across the miles to wish all my fellow audionauts a very Happy, healthy, dreams come true, New Year.
Happy new year everyone!! Since I have been working from home - I decided to make Florida my home for a couple of months on longboat key and in Naples. I am no stranger to the cold as Michigan is my normal home.
The last time I saw Juan Diego Florez he was trying to get his wife, Eurydice, back from the dead. The Royal Opera is trying to kick off the new year with another story where most of the protagonists end up dead.
Have a ticket to hear Netrebko, she was a hit last time she was here, I expect to get yet another refund, but you never know.
Think we should resolve for happy stuff in 2021, anyone for the Magic Flute or Coppelia?
