Think Outside Your Box

Bella Voce Award (again!) at Bel Canto Competition 2017

3/11/2017

The audience tonight was so fun. It's not every day that while singing you stroll around flirting, stroke a beard one second, and then smack a kiss onto a bald head the next. That was with "La Pastorella delle Alpi" by Rossini, --that sassy shepherdess. Don't worry, I cleaned up my act by following it with "Caro Nome". ;-)

Very Honored to have received the "Bella Voce" award at Chicago's Bel Canto Foundation, and I feel doubly honored to have received it again. Seems to be a theme lately, and I'm not complaining. :)

"Think Outside Your Box" means 3 things:

1. Be Selfless - think beyond your own "box". (and for singers, there's more to life than your voice box!) You're capable of helping and healing others.

2. Feel Empowered to bust out of the proverbial
"box" made of societally-induced-parameters.

3. Be Bold. Innovate. Stretch yourself. You can do anything if you set your mind to it.
