From the Non-Political but Amazing File

Today is a sad day for music lovers across the globe. As both GreenTuna and Rich have mentioned, the great tenor Luciano Pavarotti has died. The world has lost one of it's musical gems, and people aren't stretching it when they called Pavarotti the next Enrico Caruso, because he was just that great.

If you head over to Pavarotti's website, you'll find this incredible quote from the Maestro himself -
I think a life spent in music is a life beautifully spent and this is what I have devoted my life to.
Amen.

While the aria Nessum Dorma was Pavarotti's best known song, here's my personal all-time favorite.


While hearts are breaking all across the world, people like this little guy give me hope that the message of music will continue on for centuries to come.

Wow! That kid singing the "Queen of the Night" aria from Mozart's The Magic Flute is fantastic. Another great piece of music.
