Caiso Of the golden voice begins with the highly original
observation that expect too mu art where men and
women are chasing elusive dollar Maybe that IS true but
the other hand had been successful in the aforesaid
chase and prodgosy prodg in spending the dollars captured
where would the eminent Ca,so today Possibly you may sup
pose he would be perfectly happy singing in Italy tor arts sake
and little more But if you know Caro, you will not think Of
anything like that When to chasing dollars he one Of
the abct chaers But he wouldn't express that way tie might
admit that the dollars chase his art
In this article which very much worth the reading will
