Well, here's the obscurity find of the day:
I just finished reading "The Last of the Titans", which is an autobiography/memoir of Ernestine Schumann-Heink, an Austrian-born opera singer who died in the early thirties.
Before you say "whuh?", Heink was someone whose voice my mother greatly admired as a girl. In fact, I have a letter written to my mother by Heink's secretary/assistant concerning a letter Mom had apparently written to Heink.
My curiosity got the best of me, and I found the book on ebay (written in 1928) and it has been fun to read. I did a little research on Heink and found out that she apparently put a positive "spin" on much of her life story! But I STILL liked it. Maybe I'll have to find a CD or something so I can listen to her sing.
Not that I know anything about opera, unless you count Bugs Bunny singing the Barber of Seville.
Not my usual read, but nevertheless. You asked!
