I am very, very lucky and wouldn't know how I'd be living otherwise.<br /><br />When unpacking my belongings I came across some old photos, back when I sang with the Amato Opera Theater. Curious, I Googled Amato Opera and saw the photos on Bowery Boogie, the photo essay and the decay. And on my last visit, I saw the building, and tried not to stop and stare and reminisce. Because I did so once and was yelled at by the people hanging out there. I didn't know what their anger to me was. I was just trying to revisit a place.<br /><br />However sad that made me, I actually cried when I saw the artist rendering. I know what the artist is trying to do. I know I'm often told to accept change, that when I visit blogs like this (which I discovered by accident, trying to find out what happened to the garage on Bowery and Great Jones) I should just put up or shut up, I'm an old timer who can't move on.<br /><br />But the only other time I've cried reading this blog is when I learned about Michael Brody. The site is called EV Grieve, and I'm doing it now.<br /><br />I sang there from 1994-2001. I had voice lessons there much longer, not willing to let go of my training, or the atmosphere of Amato.<br /><br />(If this doesn't get published by the 'Name' tool identity, I've written as 'Anonymous' but signed as 'Former East Villager'.
