If possible please forward to Ms. Keller. catskilldbg1@tds.net Ms. Keller. I just recently saw Bobby Deerfield for the first time believe it or not. I very much admired your performance. It was so real and your facial inflections were superb which sold me as a truly real character and portrayal. Another reason I am writing you is finding out about your involvement in the musical world. I am victim of having to soft of skin in the musical world. I grew up in South Dakota singing in church and a cultureless environment (vacuum). Tried farming but my extreme disagreements with an idiot uneducated, alcoholic and abusive father who passed his depression disease to me were too much to handle. I escaped out of that environment only to find an equally hard world in music. I sang in an opera company in Reno, NV. Also, did musicals. Was in NY for fifteen years but my voice did not cooperate. I am at 56 years old in upstate NY near Binghamton, NY and I am going to attempt to sing Don Quixote in Man of La Mancha if I am able to sell my house at a profit and use the money to produce it myself. I have always been told I am a tenor (dramatic) but the highs of the roles created lows for me. My voice seems to be loosening up and I have found the mask and singing is easier for me and flows better up and down. Could I possibly encourage you to listen to my voice in person or on tape as soon as I can get my house ready for sale? Would you be interested in conducting? As you can see my name is Green or Verdi. I love his Requiem and I know I can sing it well. Also, I have learned the roles of Cavaradossi and Turridu and I believe I can do them justice with a loud booming beautiful lyric voice. That was actually the reason I was proclaimed as a Wagnerian tenor when I first started singing along with my size which was the beginning of my confidence downhill ride and depression increase. Life is full of downhills mostly for me now but I must prove to myself that I can overcome all of these adversities and sing which occupies my mind and also drives my dogs to howling although my cat Elsa comes to me when I sing. So I will take her opinion over the sensitive hearing dogs. By the way, your performance and the movie made me cry. I am truly a very sensitive and emotional being. Please write me back. It would mean so much to me. I would be more than happy to drive into NY and meet you, sing for you and let you discover and introduce this voice. Thank you. Take care. Don
