Haven't come around these parts for quite some time. Hope you're doing well.

Ms Anderson is a real gem and a wonderful model for all singer whether they wish to pursue a carreer in classical or jazz or any other kind of music.

I thought I also saw a clip of her signing Shubert's Ave Maria at that same event in Washington but coiuldn't find it anywhere on the web.

I never getting tired of listening to her rendition of spirituals and especially Deep River. I found this one though on YouTube:
