There are two life passions that I possess. My love for Johnny "Angel" Mathis and a passion for the written word. Even though my scribblings have a lot to be desired, as I am aware of my dangllng participles, and running gerunds, I feel an innate loyality to the world of journalism. To write a candid review on Johnny's concert on May 24, 2002 in Charlotte, NC, I would have to choose from one of my passions, thus, deserting the other. I choose not to make this choice.
Look at those angel eyes. How they hypnotize. I'm romantically a slave to a man I've never met, and who, although we've had encounters several times over the years, wouldn't know me from the cow who jumped over the moon. "..those eyes, so warm, so sweet, so...I love the guy those eyes reveal..."---and--- "...So there is nothing left for me to do, but close my eyes and dream of you....." I cannot choose.
Don't think for one minute that Johnny's singing was not up to par. His voice was mellow and smooth as ever. Nevertheless, his surrounding were not, and that's all I have to say about that.
I'm looking forward to my next Mathis encounter on December 31, 2002---New Year Eve at the Santa Ana, NM casinos.
Let the games begin. |
