Don, I found it.....the other stuff was going on, so I didn't check for a couple of days....I'm going to think about it....because, just as I was in perfect agreement with you, as far as to a concert versus opera performance,...wasn't there a 'gay' performance of it, in West Hollywood?..and even the female parts were men.... Both Judy Collins, and Dan Fogelberg did a version of Judi's Fogelberg, 'Since You've Asked'
and this is her original version(She wrote it) Judy Collins 'Since You've Asked'

..and the change in the lyrics made it ok..but in opera, not so good...or the age or gender change.

Hmm, I wonder why............What would you think Puccini would think?..and Why?
