| Summary |
"I'm as corny as Kansas in August--" That put-down line from the musical South Pacific was written by lyricist Oscar Hammerstein, a native New Yorker who never got closer to Kansas than a Yonkers beanery. But it's typical of the out-of-state attitude by snobs who think we Kansans all live in haystacks and talk like Judy Garland. So listen up--literally--to one of the greatest singing voices in American history. No, I don't mean Tanya Tucker. I mean Sam Ramey from Colby, Kansas, the primo basso of not only the Met, but of La Scala, Covent Garden , the Hamburg and Vienna State Operas--and a dazzling star of many live from Loncoln Center TV productions. |
