I tuned in this morning to a programme on BBC Radio 3 on Italian Opera and it was fascinating so I was stimulated into surfing
on free You Tube to rediscover Andrea Bocelli who is described as classical pop and I found to my surprise and delight ... his songs are just as enjoyable and stimulating as they were over 10 years ago. However, the clip underneath caught my attention and there is an explanation offered on Andrea Bocelli and his blindness ... apparently he was born in Tuscany near Pisa and he suffered from poor
eyesight so an unfortunate
accident at football caused him to lose his eyesight entirely. So its amazingly a long time since Andrea Bocelli's dreadful accident so I guess he has learnt to cope with it all. Andre Bocelli was born in 1958! And this accident occured when he was only12 years old.
The list of Andrea Bocelli's achievements is long and impressive and he has gained world recognition and great popularity ....... he sings in Italian and also in English ........... great listening on Saturday afternoon .. Andrea Bocelli .. sings an Italian song .. nice work from You Tube!
