Mind you, I *am* an American and proud of it~~~ but so many things

About our tastes in music really puzzle me. I recently had occasion
To order something from the British Amazon organization and I was
Quite impressed with the array of Lanza Cds that were available and
Actively promoted. I live not too far from Philadelphia in the States
And I am always amazed that even the majority of Philadelphians do not
Know of their famous heritage : Lanza! I would expect this from
Younger people but even older natives often do not know about him. It
Is not difficult to understand why Mario sought Europe for refuge when
Things went sour: He has always been loved there and I suspect he is
More popular there today than in the US. Strange indeed! Anyone have
Theories about this??>
Yes Joe..There is a saying that goes "A prophet has no honour in his own country"
I think this might explain the general attitude to Mario in the US
