Tragically, Sen. Ted Kennedy passed away last year around Christmastime. He and his family have traditionally been major patrons of the arts (The Kennedy Center in Washington DC is named after his brother!) and thus at his funeral, they had Susan Graham and Placido Domingo (famous opera singers) perform some of the music. Susan sang Schubert's Ave Maria, and while it is an over-performed song, she knocks it out of the park. Mrs. Dawson (who often has the same thoughts as I do) says to me at lunch that week - "Wasn't Susan Graham divine?!" Placido, the more famous of the two, was far over-shadowed by this amazingness. Sit back and enjoy one of the most gorgeous sounds you've every heard. :)
