Friday Fun For the Ears and Eyes

Nathan Gunn is the up-and-comingest young baritone in the country, and quite possibly on the planet. He was a cute chipmunk of a kid back in the late '70s when he was a few years behind me in grammar school; he's grown up quite well and sings like a big deep-voiced angel. Take a listen and a look, and if you're in Chicagoland you can catch him singing Figaro in The Barber of Seville at the Lyric Opera through the end of March.
