Keenly missed

Simon, Simon, Simon: how we do love you (and miss you)!

KeenlysideSimon, Simon, Simon: how we do love you (and miss you)!  He is the single most listened-to artist on my Mixcloud site, in recital and opera.  While his website does not offer much encouraging news about a return to opera, it does promise an interesting and different project for the baritone this summer: Fagin in Oliver

When you listen to this lovely recital from 2010, I ask you to channel all good thoughts to Simon for his vocal and mental health and wellbeing.
