Kitty, on a trip to Lake Tahoe last month, my husband and I visited the little St. Mary’s in the Mountains Catholic Church in Virginia City, NV, and your “Sacred Arias” CD was playing in the sanctuary. We were captivated, bought it there and played it in the car all the way back to our hotel. Occasionally we are fortunate enough to find a new [to us] artist whom we both really like, and in your case, we decided that God gives us a few people with voices like yours as a taste of what it will be like in heaven. We are 60 years old – I play piano, and my husband took up the clarinet about five years ago so we could play together. He took the CD to his teacher and played your Gounod “Ave Maria” for him, and the old gentleman (who is very large physically and has spent his life playing saxophone and clarinet in dance bands and teaching) just sat there listening quietly with tears in his eyes. This is probably more explanation than you really wanted, but we have played the CD over and over, and just don’t tire of listening to it. One of the joys of such a discovery is sharing with friends who love music as we do, and I will be ordering at least eight more of the “Arias” CDs as Christmas gifts for these friends. I would like to know if you ever do tours and/or will have any appearances in or around Georgia. If you have a promotion email list, I’d certainly like to be added to it. We are very grateful that you chose to leave your other “careers” in pursuit of your musical calling!
