Thank you for re-evoking the memory of my debut as a chorus member in my first amateur opera performance. (December 1982)

Bravo, Ray! Wish I could have been there…

Yes! All of this! I feel like my generation of queer people (I'm 32, so I mean folks a bit older than me and all folks younger than me) don't understand just what a powerful and game-changing figure Sylvester was. This is a really great introduction and a beautiful tribute. Also, "You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real)" is a perfect song. -max

Thanks, Max. I had no idea you were such a young whipper snapper, my friend. Keep keeping it mighty real! Cheers, my dears.
