Sadly, my first rant.
I really don't even know what to say here. I write because of the news of the passing of Luciano Pavarotti, possibly the greatest Tenor ever to grace the stage, and our ears, with his voice. I never knew him, nor did I have the privilege of seeing him in concert or in one of his many operatic roles, but his voice and music have been in the background of my life since I was a young child. While my personal taste in music ranges the entire gamut, the voice of Pavarotti, and the music that he loved, provided many thoughtful and peaceful moments in my life. He will be sorely missed.
