While searching for Alicia Keys, I find Pavarotti

On Sunday I read the Alicia Keys article in the New York Times. It made me want to listen to her, so I looked through my records to find The Diary of Alicia Keys. I had purchased it as a cut-out some years ago for a dollar. I coudln't find it. Instead, I discovered a recording of tenor arias by Luciano Pavarotti. I had also purchased it for a dollar at the Housing Works Book Store. I had forgotten it.

I put it on my turntable immediately and listened to his 70's recording of "Nessun Dorma." His voice filled the room. I resisted the temptation to place the needle back at the start of that aria. Instead I flipped it to side A and sat and listened to the album from beginning to end. And then I listened to it again.
