My dear young People........You can sing anything you want......DO IT
WELL........Your gift of singing is just that, A gift! Use it to the best of
your ability...........I sang a" La Ci DaRem" From "Don Giovanni with my
gifted Partner...We did it in a comical way that ended up with her coming on to
me and starting to disrobe me....the audience loved it.....It was the night
that Frank Guerrara The Baritone and I met and became Friends........He said
that I grabed the audience and that he never saw it done that way......It was a
concert....I come out in concerts and ask the hse lights to be turned on so I
can see my audience.....Then I sing to them......TO THEM is the key
word...........REMEMBER....You are there also to entertain...If you can give
them a voice with the entertainment....You are gifted......Of course, The
staunch Opera singers are annoyed But I GRABBED THE AUDIENCE.....AND I LOVE
IT...............LOVE YOUR SINGING AND ALSO LOVE YOUR SONGS,ARIAS, AND WHATEVER
YOU SING........WHEN YOU MASTERED THE TECHIQUES.....SING FROM THE
HEART!!!!!!!!!!(I AM NOT ANGRY....JUST TRYING TO GET A POINT ACROSS.......HAVE
A GREAT TIME. WHEN SINGING BECOMES A JOB OR A CHORE THEN IT'S TIME TO GIVE IT
UP........Bobby, Philly
