........THESE THREE TENORS, comments below....but the photo above them is of :

CORY PASATURO, a young musician and Accordion player, who also plays the clarinet and the Saxophone (you can see these instruments sitting on the stage near him). He is only about 20 years old, and incredibly talented! Our friends really liked him too, so we headed over to the U.S. Cellular Connection Stage to hear him play when we arrived on Sunday morning, July 22.


......Later in the evening, toward 9:00 PM, we saw THESE THREE TENORS perform at the Palermo's Pizza Stage, (in fact we saw them both nights) but didn't enjoy them as much as some of the other acts. They put on a good show, but a couple of their voices were a bit past their prime and wobbled at times. They all had very powerful voices and sang well, but the sound at least for us, wasn't a "pretty" one, and a bit harsh on the ears at times, especially when they all sang together. Also, the tenor on the left was really much more of a BASS (not even a baritone) than a tenor. We all compared their voices to our favorite tenors, and we all agreed that we MUCH prefer the graceful and lovely, smooth and fresher sound of "our" tenors! Here "These Three Tenors" are donning jackets and doing a Frank Sinatra bit. They also came out in masks doing Phantom of the Opera, but again even as solos, their voices just weren't right for this delicate, operetta music, in our humble opinions.. This Trio has been around for at least 10 years, but this is their first time performing at Milwaukee's Festa Italiana. We may still see them again next year, but for this year my curiosity about them was satisfied!
