Me: Do you have any tickets left for tonight's performance? Ticket booth attendant: Sure, we do. Me: This is the one with Dawn Upshaw? T.B.A.: Yep. Me: Oh, really? How much are they? TBA: You're a student? Me: Yes. TBA: Ten bucks. Me (stunned): Wow... TBA: Yeah, I thought you'd like that!
Yes, she was really good. If I'd heard her before (which seems pretty likely), I hadn't noticed that she sings with a very distinctively American accent.
