I grew up in a home filled with all kinds of wonderful music. My parents filled our home with music from all over the world, and all across the musical spectrum. One of the things my father introduced me to is Opera, and I still enjoy it today. I remember being amazed to hear those wonderful voices as they soared through amazingly high and and low notes. I remember watching PBS with my father, and listening to the great Opera singers: Luciano Pavarotti, Placido Domingo, and Beverly Sills. I remember my father listening to Pavarotti on LP's on Saturday mornings, as he sat with his coffee. I remember my mother humming "La Dona Mobile", one of her favorite arias. As I started my day today, I read that Luciano Pavarotti passed away after a long battle with cancer. They called him "King of the High C's". This morning, Heaven's chorus has a wonderful new star. Fare thee well, maestro. I hope to hear your voice again, when I make my own journey home. You will be missed.

Cassi, when I got to work, I had to go to YouTube and listen to a couple of arias. Ka donna e mobile and one from La Traviata. I knew you would react.
