And that brings me to the exquisite Measha Brueggergosman born in New Brunswick
(now residing locally in Parkdale).

Measha

This is the only video I could find, can't stand the production but she's lovely:

L.M., you're so devious! In Jessye Norman you've got both high brow and sparklies. You tryin ta make this one big beautiful world?

That costume she's wearing for Dido's Lament is something else, but I don't think anyone tells Jessye Norman what she can and cannot wear. (in fact all of us mere mortals probably make these tinny little noises to her ears that she just ignores)

Anthony, how the hell do you spell her name right and nearly every other word in the English language wrong at one time or another. I think you have weird super powers that you haven't figured a use for as yet.
