To B&B Ambassador and Rome correspondent and good friend Marco

[Marco]

Thank you for this

To me these are the "3 Magnificent" Tenors.

Enrico Caruso is the Father of the Great Italian Tenors. His personal story is also very touching: he left Italy as a poor man, reached the US and conquered the world, becoming rich and famous. He even had Tiffany make gold coins with his portrait on them. He asked a lot of money for singing, but always did it for free for his beloved Italian people living in America.

Franco Corelli's voice was the most expressive and captivating.

Mario Del Monaco's voice was just the most powerful of them all, no other tenor before, during and after had that unique explosive way of singing.

P.S. John @JCinPA , Mario Del Monaco's "Nessun Dorma" is simply the very best. Another superb performance for you below:

What’s so weird about this is I actually know a dude name Marco who lives in San Fransisco who is the nicest dude ever AND ALSO FROM ITALY. And for a long time now I thought it was actually our B&B Marco in disguise. But I don’t think it is anymore. I think it’s just that every guy name Marco is the best dude ever.

Marco, a true gentleman in every sense of the word and a wonderful ambassador of B&B! We are lucky to have him among us. Ciao Marco!

Like others, I have been fortunate to have enjoyed some wonderful correspondence with @Marco. Kind-hearted, ever polite, a simple joy to interact with. I know he has made an impact with many here, and he continues to be a most affective and gentlmanly influence for all of us to admire.

Thank you for all you do, Marco

Marco I do admit, I didn't get to see Sweeney Todd until earlier this year so the entire previous amount of time I've lurked/posted I literally thought your avatar was your face.

Haha seriously though I've learned a ton from so many of your posts. Thank you for everything and I hope you had a great day today.

Marco is a gentleman that most everyone, including myself could take a page from his book to learn from . Years ago , Marco , you helped me with picking out a good boar brush to use with Cella soap . I have always remembered the time you took out from your schedule to help me . Thank you Marco .

My preferred hobby is not wet shaving. It's being part of Badger & Blade. It's staying here with my best friends. It's talking, helping and smiling to each single member of this unique community. You are all the finest Gentlemen I've ever known. And I'll always be at your total disposal. Thank you kindly from the bottom of my heart.
