Mr. Case, I really appreciate your selections! It's amazing
how songs offer transport to other times and worlds.
It may sound silly but I felt as though I was on the road trip
with you... and the stresses of my life just melted away...
Miss you all. Lately life has exploded with activity, allowing
only bits of time for me to check in rather than post, but
I promise to post when I can.

....You, my darling, not sleep in your bed,
And, when quietly cradling the crib, Wipe away secret tears.
Love for your eyes! Their depth gently touches my heart.
....And this frightening black winter steppe has lain down between us....Feeling of joy, Makes me calm
in the deadliest battle, Knowing, you always meet me with love, No matter what happened....
I love originals as well Lady...however, *grinning* will you give Dmitri Hvorostovsk a chance to win Your heart?
Lady Erasure, *teases* Dmitri Hvorostovsk begs you to hear him sing Dark of the Night...listen! *cupping ear with a hand*
(I had hoped for a Youtube clip of him performing at Yale in 2006...but nothing except this news archive you might find interesting.)
I agree that those having LIVED during a time carry the Soul and Spirit within, able to tap into the experience through Voice...carrying us back...yet permit Me to persuade You to Listen to a relatively young voice...
Dmitri Hvorostovsky - Temnaya Noch (Dark of the Night)
Bah! I can't leave it just there! Dream with Me? *Smile...also maybe I can finally get some sleep! Imagine Us...
having heard that there is a performance...*
Lady Erasure! Quick let's duck into an Opera house! HA!
*Dressed appropriately, We join a growing crowd of other thread members who've been seated in a reserved box...We arrive late! Right in the middle of Don Giovanni Unmasked! HA!*
*Whisper*...want to see the beginning? ssshhh...let's head out by the hidden stairway, come on...
*hurries down a hall, open an ornate door, the Lady slips through and I follow close behind... aaaaaa....the first act!...See to Your comfort then sink into the plush reclining seats with plenty of leg room!*
(For those who cannot link to Youtube but want more of Hvorostovsky - Don Giovanni Unmasked by Mozart! Yes, leave the real world behind... and get lost in an Opera! HA!)
(To the Kindest Soul who sent a word privately, through song...Thank You! Sleep comes now...)
