......... It was fun to meet all these great singers, like Giada Valenti, who again, is a particular favorite of my friend from New Jersey. She introduced me to Giada and also to another good singer, Christina Luna, at Festa, both of whom she really admires. They both met with my approval, because I love great voices, especially sweet ones, be they sopranos, baritones or tenors! Giada was really busy signing autographs on CDs and pictures, but she had time to pose with both of us below.
