It is astonishing, truth be told. Very small activities give great pleasure. For two days, I have stayed at home, inside the Hill House and listen to the singing of Mario Lanza. We have a package that allows me to listen to everything Mario Lanza recorded. I have just listened to all discs twice. He had a wonderful voice.
He is one of two people in my life who provided negative examples to me concerning weight loss. He died in Italy, at a weight loss institution, when he was not yet 40. He had this marvelous voice but was always gaining and losing weight. His death was controversial but it was probably a combination of medications and starvation that killed him. Fortunately, he had recorded a lot of music, so we can still listen to his voice.
It was wonderful listening to his voice. I do wish he had sung in tune all the time. His recordings were done in one take and never tweaked or had parts dubbed in to correct the bad parts. I still enjoyed them all but I won't listen again for several years. Too many high notes sung flat.
