Andrea Bocelli Rocks My Socks

Posted by Chad Criswell Mar 3, 2006

The past several days our local PBS stations have been holding their annual "Festival," fundraising drive. As I was flipping around I noticed a concert in Las Vegas by Andrea Bocelli. Even though I do not consider myself much of an opera afficianado I still found myself drawn in. An hour later I was still watching and honestly considered making a donation just to get the free DVD of the performance.

Bocelli is an incredibly talented and versatile vocalist, and like other notable musicians such as Beethoven, his physical impairments have not diminished his abilities (Bocelli was blinded in a soccer accident during his youth, Beethoven become deaf later in life). He has performed with other notables such as Luciano Pavarotti and Jose Carreras.
