Good bye

For us there is no death.
Rest here merely bones.
Around you love's in flower,
Zero though our breath,
Etched into these stones.
Read and feel its power.

I remember my first night in Qatar. I flew few days earlier than originally planned to make it to the concert. Pavarotti wasn't at his best anymore, but as always he gave his best.

When I first saw that picture, I thought Demis Rousos died.

Grande voce, grande vita. Rest in peace, Luciano.

My favorite aria is "Nessun Dorma."

He was great; I remember back when we used to live in London, around 93 or so, my mom used to love watching him whenever he performed, and she used to drag us along. We used to think it was a little overrated back then, but what did we know, we were kids. May his soul rest in peace.

I heard this morning that he had died on the radio on my way to school.

I wish that I had taken the chance to see him in concert, I love his voice.
