For me, hearing and seeing Handel’s Messiah at my namesake hall (Carnegie Hall) is one of the high points of the holiday season. I went with friends last night, and it was heavenly. The Hallelujah Chorus really rocks! You’d never know it was classical music. I certainly hope that you, all my friends and fans, have a happy and healthy holiday season and New Year!

Gosh there were hundreds of people on that stage just singing their hearts out.

Me and Fred, Latasha, and Rose all had really great box seats right up front.

Everyone stands for the Hallelujah Chorus. Sometimes people sing, too. I sang very loud!
