Hello from Aaron in June

Hi everybody. I hope everyone is well and enjoying their summer. I've added some pictures of University of Connecticut's Champion Women's Basketball Coach, Geno Auriemma. Not only is he a top-notch Coach, but he is also a great person. He was extremely nice and we talked a bit in Italian. This was all arranged by Dr. Joseph Picone, a great friend. I have never been a fan of sports but now I'll be rootin' for UConn. That is the effect someone can have on you when they're nice and they don't have to be. I was given a bit of advice from a great performer and friend, Mr. Danny Marona about show business. His advice on how to become a famous singer is first and foremost to be nice. That goes for any profession. Secondly, he said "Success doesn't change people, like so many say it does, rather, it reveals what they truly are." I have thought about that for a long time and I think about it often and Im thankful for the time I spent with him. If that is the case, and I know it is, Im glad to have met Mr. Geno Auriemma. We sang Old Neapolitan songs that his father used to sing. He would call them out "Santa Lucia Luntana!", "Comme Facette Mammete!" and I would play and sing them. That is the picture of me playing the piano for him in my "photo" section. I was surprised at his depth of knowlege about Neapolitan music, but then I found out he was born there and he started speaking beautiful Italian. Once again, thank you to Dr. Picone for arranging that meeting. I have a very busy month this month and at the end of it, Im off to South Beach to perform at the Ms. Florida pageant. I recently had the pleasure of meeting Ms. Florida 2004, Jenna Edwards. May I say what a sweetheart she is and I look forward to working with her in July. She started her own Non-Profit organization called "Queen for a day". Here is the website http://www.qfad.org/ Go check it out. They help young children with cancer by going to the hospital and making them "Queen" for a day. They each get to keep their Tiaras which are donated by pageant winners. I think this is such a wonderful thing and Im going to add it to my links page. They have a "chapters" page on their website so go volunteer and help out if you can. That's all. I hope to see many of you this month. Have a great June!
