This photo with Di Stefano was taken during a visit to his house in Bergamo, when I arrived 4:30 in the afternoon and told him I have to catch the train to Bazill for a singing appointment at 12 tonight, needless to say I missed the 12 o'clock train but we had a great time. He was explaining while playing his songs and doing falsetto demonstrations for me and after I sang a song said many nice things to me about my voice. A visit never to be forgotten.
