My VERY FIRST Love

Oh, Carmen.

Growing up the television stand was stocked with:
01) Bible movies [ in 2-Pack VHS ]
02) Broadway Musicals [ in 2-Pack VHS ]
03) Live classical performances
04) The film Ghandhi [ in 2-Pack VHS ]
05) Amadeus [ still my favorite film of all time ]
06) Fransesco Rosi's Bizet's Carmen
07) More Bible movies [ in 2-Pack VHS ]

Now, to my memory, Julia Migenes as Carmen was
cause of my very first chubby. Sure, especially
awkward around my siblings. But, damnitt, i loved
this gypsy to death.

This is such an amazing opera and an even greater
love story. I can sing most of the composition from
start to finish - as ALL the characters.

Goosebumps, still:




Mmmhmm.
SO emotional. Im a sucker for this stuff.

A human experience,
