......... Settimio has a strange way of smiling sometimes.....unless this was around the time he was looking for a Men's Room! LOL!

Considering the excellent weather earlier in the day, there seemed to be fewer people this time as we headed over to see Frank Tenaglia and Aaron Caruso ---the main attractions for us this year. They both performed on the Miller Lite Oasis stage which you can see in the background. As I said, there is music going on 10 stages all at the same time ---singers of Italian and American pop and classical music, comedians, impressionists, cooking shows, an Italian street or village, an Opera Tent, dancing (we usually skip the folk dancing), many bands, and "Italian Idol", etc. Another new young singer we saw was MATT MORGAN with WE THREE, who had a powerful pop tenor voice, has performed quite a few opera roles, and at the end of his show sang "Nessun Dorma" and "Vesti la Giubba". He was impressive enough for the crowd, but Settimio and I thought his voice didn't sound refined or pretty. It was very rough around the edges and seemed to be shouting more than singing......So off we go to see more and better tenors!
