Aloha Ms. Judy,

May I ask what is Placido Domingo singing that caused you much contentment?

Might it be this work with which I wooed my wife?:

I was listening to him sing a classical Mexican song called Jalisco. I haven't
heard this song since I was a kid visiting Lubbock, Texas. Somewhere in
that city a Mexican shop was at a shopping mall playing that song.
Even that sounded great because the music is so happy and full of life
just like other polkas. But this one stands out. Here's the video I was
listening to.YouTube - Placido Domingo-Ay,Jalisco no te rajes
Corno, this is the song. What a Voice!
