Music was my career. . I am retired now and I miss it. Anyway, my voice is no longer what it used to be. I did opera and musical theatre. In musical theatre I was in "The King and I", South Pacific" "Carousel" "Oklahoma" Those were the days!

@mezzosoprano, What a gift and how many smiles you brought to others during your musical career! Growing up in a small TX town, I became an avid collector of 331/3 rpm? records. Not until an adult was I able to experience live opera, symphony and musical productions. At 76, I still have and enjoy a lifetime record collection of operas, musicals, and symphonies.
@mezzosoprano, I played violin in college and in community/college orchestra for many years. I played principal 2nd violin position. Although not professional level, we covered a wide range of music - and I loved it. There is nothing that can compare to the sound and the atmosphere of participating on stage or in the pit for a live performance. And I miss it, although I never got to see the musical theatre performance in it's entirety.
Have you been able to attend any live performances since you retired?
