And Callas never, ever lacked for passion! :-)<BR/><BR/>But you can keep your Freddy Mercury. He was never one of my champions. :-PPeter Cresswellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10699845031503699181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11906042.post-1122786378319112362005-07-31T17:06:00.000+12:002005-07-31T17:06:00.000+12:00Well I guess the 50's are your style ole fella.

Strewth! <BR/><BR/>I don't think Marie Curie (1867-1934) would be much company in the fifties, Vanzyl, but Imogen might well be a good choice. :-)Peter Cresswellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10699845031503699181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11906042.post-1122777737490135962005-07-31T14:42:00.000+12:002005-07-31T14:42:00.000+12:00Me.
