    La Cieca,

    You’ve saved a marriage! Only last night, my husband managed to delete my entire carefully hoarded Unnatural Acts archive. He says it’s somewhere on the hard disk, but so is Renaay’s good taste.

  • sfmike says:

    This is great. You haven’t saved my marriage but I like listening to things at my own leisure and now you’ve made it possible. And your narration is, well, ineffable and definitely part of the charm. Milton Cross lives.

  • Il Tenore di Coloratura Superba says:

    La Cieca you are a true goddess – how can we ever thank you!!!!????

  • La Cieca says:

    Your love is all the thanks I need. Oh, and it doesn’t hurt to click on the Google ads and the Amazon Honor System when you get the chance.

    Thanks for the lovely lovely words.

    Grazie, grazie, La Cieca! I didn’t get all of that Norma with Caballé from July, so now I can get it all, plus anything else I haven’t had a chance to hear. BTW, I agree with sfmike about your narration. I’ve been in public radio for close to 20 years, and I wish more people in my business had your good humor, good information, and wonderful delivery! Even friends I have sent to this site who are not opera fans have had their minds changed, thanks to you! Bless you for all your generosity, and
    best wishes for a wonderfully demented 2006!

    Dear La Cieca

    These are fantabulosa – listening to them all day at work.

    Love The Maria Tudor

    Love the site too.

    Keep up the good work.

  • Thanks for taking a few of us.
