Ecco il Leone
La Cieca just received an email from Samuel Ramey confirming, “Yes, the comment is from me. Had no idea it would cause such a discussion.”

…. or IL BARBIERE with Sills in which he wears what appears to be the Eiffel Tower on his head. (Shades of our doyenne and the Sydney Opera House.)
I’ve hesitated getting personal with our illustrious visitor, whom many take to be the true His Nibs, but I’ve got a couple questions, just in case.
Number One concerns the RINALDO broadcast. Is there a particular reason it has not surfaced on either Sirius or elsewhere? I’ve been waiting for it.
Number Two has to do with the infamous GIOVANNI. I have no problem with nudity myself, but it’s always been written into my contracts. How did Miller get away with springing it on you unawares? (Or “underwears,” remembering where we are.)
# 117 richard, You sure that was Ramey? He’s not a tall man at all although he does have quite a bit of stage presence.
Huh? Where you come from, Sequoia Village? Ramey is close to Tom Hampson, which would clock in at around 6’2″
He must have been on his knees when I met him.
I know that’s how I prefer to meet men.
