    Absolutely ghastly.

    • La plus belle voix says:

      His death or his singing Sue?

        Relax. She may be the Trump Party Chair in Slipped Disc land with politics well to the right of Attila the Hun, but as long as she sticks to music I have found her assessments to be mostly solid. You are the one who is instrumentalizing the ghastly death of a young singer to score a point, not her.

        • La plus belle voix says:

          I was not trying to score a point, but genuinely wanted to know if Sue was showing empathy, or being callous. Answer came there none.

  • Denise Brain says:

    RIP Marco. Saw you in Margaret Garner and you were so outstanding. You will be missed in Cincinnati.

  • Brian says:

    Another death from Covid-19 complications, according to the Biz Journal article in the link. One wonders if he contracted it on the job or if he was fully vaccinated/boosted.
