@helgeevju Very true. Good comment! You might be interested in reading my blog for today, where I discuss the many vocal classifications in opera. Just substitute real dots for the word "dot."

My Grandmother was born in 1909 and died this Christmas Day at age 102. Her mother and father, both German, named her Ernestine for Ernestine Schumann-Heink. Grandma's folks loved music, and were active in chorale groups, including the Sons of Hermann. Thank you for this wonderful connection to my Grandmother Ernestine!

Yes, she was in despair as a young woman. She had several children, her husband had abandoned her, and she had no money or job. She took them to a railway station, with the intention of throwing them under a train, but one of the children sensed all was not well and cried out to her, and she came to her senses, thank God. I did a piece on Schumann-Heink on my blog, if you would care to read it: GREATOPERASINGERSdotBLOGSPOTdotCOM May, 2010, (Just substitute dots for the word "dot."
