Agitation of hands. Strength of words. 
Okay, well evidently that doesn’t work.
So what you do, if you want to see it,
is type Orpheus into the search bar,
and then scroll down to it.
I am not sure if I am commenting in the co0rrect window but I want to say I really liked the poem. I followed the link to Irelamd.com but was not sure what I was looking for. Did you perform or write am opera z-freek? (I am up in vermont and unable to get the graphics on your site.)
Haha.
No worries.
Yeah, I performed in an Opera.
Orpheus by Gluck
They said:
“Singing an unornamented version of the title role and give an oratorio stance centre-stage for most of the hour-long performance, Benjamin Russell is also remarkable. His pleasant and well-managed voice is an emerging instrument, mature enough to handle the recitatives as rewritten by Declan Hassett and showing some colour and even emotional quality in the arias”.
She then went on about how she didn’t like the Harp, Cello and electronic organ accompaniment
Not bad for my first time out, ay?
Not bad at all! You must have a wonderful voice to accompany your lyrical sensibilities. Congratulations.
Thanks!
Congratulations! Thats damned fine parise, I must say!
Thanks slynne.

A little bit of praise never went amiss.
