A Sangria Story

What has happened to Sangria? When did restaurants begin to dilute it with citrus flavored soda? I was appalled last night when I was served Sangria that tasted like soda pop. The standard recipe for Sangria includes good red wine, slices and juice of lemons and oranges, some Triple Sec, some brandy, and cut up apple. I discussed this with the waitress, who brought it to the attention of the bartender. He said that his recipe included Sprite! We had a pleasant chat with the manager, who admitted that their recipe was changed in August. So much for Sangria in that restaurant. Corporate has done it again.....

Goodbye to Broadway Voices

Last Monday, September 8th, my last Broadway Voices aired for the season. I enjoyed doing the program so much and hope to have the opportunity to prepare more shows next Summer. My collection of original cast recordings of Broadway shows continues to grow, and I will look forward to sharing them with listeners. Now it's time to concentrate once again on opera.
