Andre Bocelli was just playing and I paused for a minute to watch the video. Bocelli was singing "Ave Maria" in a concert in the amphitheater in Rome. First, I wasn't aware that they still used that venue for anything other than visitors. Secondly, for some reason his blindness hit home with me. He sings endless songs in countless languages---all by rote memory. He does not use an ear piece to prompt the words. That is simply amazing to me. I know how difficult it is to learn a language (in my case Korean) that you can't read and visualize. I'm astounded.
