Bargain Bin

Perhaps, if you are old enough,

You saw John Gary do his stuff.

There was a time back then when he

Was everywhere on your TV.


Used record shops, of course, still carry

Nostalgic vinyl by John Gary,

And though the stock on hand will vary, ---

They’re in “Adult Contemporary”.

Advice on Casting Donizetti 

A diva is often the reason

That his operas are part of the season.

I’d suggest you invest

When you scheduled bel canto like these in.
