The Last Ounce of Devotion
I never meant to suggest that Paul Potts was on a par with Pavorotti as a tenor. It’s just that the aria which catapulted Paul to fame and fortune is the one that Pavorotti made popular to the “non-opera philes” of the world. (Here is Pavorotti’s rendition: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ONUCPKdGcrk) I saw a quote recently attributed to Pavorotti. It goes something like this: “People think that I am discliplined. They are mistaken - I am dedicated. There is a great difference.” Devotion vs. Discipline. Living an inspired life vs. being driven by “personal demons”. Exuberance vs. Vengeance. Day and night, no?
“ All Things With Exuberance!”
