Girls past and present

Well, of course there's my wife!

But then there was Liona Boyd, we saw her live. What a lady!

Mary O'hara, love at first sight. Nice voice too. Loved her Gaelic. Where is she now?

Victoria De Los Angeles. Por siempre en mi corazon. In "Amor Brujo" did she actually know she'd be singing for me "ya esta despuntando er dia, cantad campanas, cantad!"

Jessy Norman singing the Gounod's "Sanctus" elevates that same sort of greatness that Pavarotti evokes in "Nessun Dorma".

Then, having just turned 69, I feel I have the right to reserve a spot for Hayley Westenra.

If you enjoy the guitar of Liona Boyd ... and I do also and have many of her recordings.... them you must give XueFei Yang (pronounced Zoo-Fay) a listen because as a classical guitarist she is nothing short of brilliant. I heartily recommend her Forty Degrees North.

Thanks Tucker99, I'll be sure to follow up. Love that P-1800!

Ms de Los Angeles also does wonders with La Wally and though she does not sing her fiddle playing is a delight to the eye - Mairead Nesbitt, my favourite pixie.

Annette Strean of Venus Hum.. WOW! is all I can say.. Beautiful girl, INSANE voice.. I've seen her perform twice, and also got to meet and talk to her and got her to sign a CD for my wife..

I'm also a super big Bejork fan... another unearthly female vocalist..
