I was in a Sondheim state of mind this evening Bridget. I have always loved the version of this beautiful song performed by Harolyn Blackwell many years ago at a Sondheim birthday event. Today, you really bowled me over with your gorgeous rendition. The future is yours young lady You're really good!!!
@@bridgetesler i’m so happy you responded Bridget. In fact, I just listened to you again. Count me as a fan. By the way, I had a 45 year career, singing and playing piano in the Chicago area. I am 80 years old now. I did study voice at Northwestern University midway through my career. I am a pretty good tenor. Go to RU-vid and enter the following: Joel Barry sings Nessun Dorma. I sang with a pre-recorded track. The year was 1998. My hair is all gray now, but I can still hit a high B natural. I hope you are still pursuing your musical dreams. That’s me holding a mic which. I later put down. The event was my uncle’s 80th birthday. He is long gone and now I am 80.
I’m watching this to help prepare for my performance tomorrow and your acting and vocals are out of this world! I’ll definitely be stealing some of this :)
