My Saluda

Hello Anyone! I am in the beloved town of Saluda, North Carolina and relishing every minute of it. Today I went to Carnegie Hall and listened to the wonderful opera "The Pearl Fishers" by Georges Bizet. His work in this opera is compared to Mozart because of his brilliant use of melody and oh my heavens was it brilliant! As I listened to one of the lead characters sing, her voice skipped across the tune and heightened until she had almost reached the tip-top of the notes we call "Melody" then it crashed down into the depths of harmony again. It was soulful, brilliant and an all-consuming lovely. Applause!
