Because today is the birthday of my son, Contributing Editor Geoffrey Dean, I would like to dedicate today’s publication of poet Bob Boldt’s “Caruso in Honduras” to him and to all other good people born on this date, in whatever year.
Honored individuals (and everyone else, good or bad): don’t deprive yourselves of the joy of reading Bob’s poem and watching and, especially, of listening to his video performance and the video performances of Luciano Pavarotti & Lucio Dalla and Andrea Giuffredi.
Happy Winter Solstice also! – in the Northern Hemisphere.
In the Southern, it’s Happy Summer Solstice!

I do not do opera. But Pavarotti, well. He's the Tiger Woods of opera: like Woods he raised the bar in his sport so to speak. This performance nearly brought the tears the first time I saw it, and you are correct it is well worth the time to see and enjoy it again!
