\xa0 I was waiting once at the Met stage
\xa0 door after a Macbeth. Out comes this
big guy who looked at me and asked,
"Are you Charlie Handelman?" I said
"Yes." He gave me a big hug and\xa0
said,"You are more famous than
me!"\xa0 What a fun guy!!!!!!!!!!
\xa0Joe and I have discussed a kind of
"old-fashioned vibrato," which to\xa0
me is\xa0 "affectionate."
