I'm grateful for moments of reflection. Tonight I participated in a Q&A session at the Center on Halsted (a wonderful local gay/lesbian community center) sponsored by the Lyric Opera of Chicago, hosted by the dashing Roger Pines, and attended by a lovely crowd who so kindly obliged me in my request to take a group photo! Because Roger had put so much thought into the questions, and the audience was so attentive, I had the opportunity to reflect and express various elements of why I do what I do, what it means to me, and why I love it so much. Being given an opportunity to do this (in a public forum, no less!), reminds me that music is something that unites people, empowers them, and lifts them up - and how lovely to be given the chance to celebrate that! Thank you to everyone who attended and making me feel so much at home!
PS - Some folks are asking how to see the photo larger. As is the case with nearly all the photos here, if you click on it, it will take you to my "flickr" photo page, and you can click on that photo; then you can click on "all sizes" above the photo, and there you have the option to view the photo larger! Happy surfing!

You were missed!!! But having you here on Sunday was spectacular!
: 0 Not sure if my first attempt at a comment went through or not...sorry for the repeat if it did!
Anyway, what an absolute joy it was to be present last night to hear such a wonderful and inspiring artist and woman speak so openly about her craft and herself...and, oy, what humor....
And, if you haven't already achieved "gay icon" status, I can assure you Ms. Didonato, you will be there any moment.... : )
I'm so looking forward to experiencing your Rosina next Wednesday....and future performances as well...
Warmly,

I'm afraid there is no "all sizes" option - perhaps it is there only for authors?
