Just thinking about his Nessun Dorma gives me goosebumps...

RIP Maestro.

I am convinced that 90% of the problems with rhythm, tone, intonation, articulation, technique, and overall prowess on the horn are related to air issues.

It was "entertainment", but some of my favorite performances were listening to him wail out front, while I got to wail on Nessun too, in the back. He wasn't weeping tears of joy, though.

God speed, Maestro!

It does bother me, however, that the Elitist Boobs kept looking (and are continuing to look) down their noses at him because the Three Tenors thing and his forays into pop culture. So what if Prometheus brought fire to the mortals. Get over it. His voice was still amazing.

I think it tells everything about him that even Mr. Bobo talks about him as the "Maestro" !!

Rest in piece Mr. Pavarotti!
