Andrea Bocelli and Sarah Brightman
YouTube - Andrea Bocelli & Sarah Brightman - Time To Say Goodbye Always reminds me of Paul Potts. UK American Idol a couple years ago. Kinda cool to watch people's reactions. They all thought he was a joke. Until he started to sing. Puccini : YouTube - Paul sings Nessun Dorma high quality video/sound Bocelli : YouTube - Paul Potts Semi Final winning performance High Quality V/S |
Don't usually admit this, but I'm a fan of Puccini.
Opera may not be everyone's cup of tea but if it is you've got to bid the Delta layovers in Milan, Italy. The hotel is only a few blocks from La Scala. Easily the greatest opera house on the planet. Architecturally and acoustically. |

That was exceptional!
I'm a DAL guy, but it gave me goose bumps nonetheless. Over the years Delta has acquired / merged with several great carriers. I hope they don't sweep the great legacy of NWA under the rug as they have with Pan Am Western, etc. Carl |

Architecturally and acoustically. Bocelli is just a shocking talent isn't he? He was discovered by Pavarotti who was driving in a car past the home of Bocelli when he heard him singing. Pavarotti had his driver stop the car and followed the singing until he met Bocelli for the first time. You know you're good when you make Pavarotti stop in his tracks. Carl |

The NWA pilots should ensure their Company's culture is not scattered to the wind as Pan Am's was. I had heard there was a museum in the area. Now is the time to try to get Delta to donate everything important. Maybe even a effort to get this to the:

I was going to make a new thread for this.........but what the heck.
Goodby Northwest YouTube - Goodbye Northwest My favorite thing though, not on the video, is seeing a 747 at gate A40 when you're going up and down the escalator to B. By the way, I haven't been to DTW in 3 years and I see that we're parking at B but is Continental still parking in B too? |

Best part about Bocelli CDs is the effect they have on women. ;)
