I loved this post. At first, when I saw the "Yes", I was really going to
yell at 'anoperastar' & then I read on & died laughing. If singing is your
passion, you will just sing, sing, sing and LOVE it and grow older singing
and loving it. I bet you even sang to your children and still do. Get back
into this part of your life - you do not need to give up your family. Start
singing and finding out how young you feel. My gosh, we all get older
anyway - let's do what we love and what the law allows, of course.
