I checked the archives before I sent my mail out last night. When I looked
up Karen's email, I wasn't able to find the original mail that she had gotten
that quote from. Sooooo if I jumped the gun, my apologies. I agree the CT's
shouldn't hog this list. However I'm pretty sure that there are a lot more
sopranos, tenors, mezzos, & baritones on here then their are CT's. Besides
that, I only post once in a blue. No hog here.
