Here is an inspiring performance of ?Adeste Fideles? to celebrate Walker Percy?s colorful legacy of characters and to many future listserv discussions about them ahead in the coming year. Best wishes and enjoy, Henry Mills ?Adeste Fideles? live from Teatro Regio di Parma - Andrea Bocelli https://youtu.be/o6-1r79tCow This December 2021 performance was recorded live from an opera house favored by Verdi. Bocelli was diagnosed with congenital glaucoma at 5 months old and was fully blind by age 12. -- Henry P.

I hope to hear from some of you with proposals for our session. Best to all!
