hopephotographyROCKS: my favorite singers?

I was conversing with my youngest daughter the other day when she asked me who my favorite singer was. I thought awhile and realized I did not really have just one favorite. I tried to simplify the task and asked her if she was looking for my male or female favorite. I thought for sure she would say female, thinking she would favour that gender as she is one. Of course not, she said both. Now I had to find two favorites. I was unable to narrow it down to just one for the males, but I new I had a favourite for the female part of the equation. The selection I gave her for MY favorite female singer was Lisa Dalbello or just Dalbello as she would go by later in her career. Of course the name Dalbello garnered my nothing but a blank stare of confusion. Now of course I have the thrill of exposing her to some awesome albums in my collection. below you will see a variety of shots fro earlier in the Lisa Dalbello career as I had the great opportunity and experience to spend some time with and shoot her on three separate occasions a great performer and an equally gracious person. I wish I would have had the opportunity to see her live in the mid-eighties when I was a big fan ( I still am). Whomanfoursays was and still is and incredible album I spent many hours with the headphones on listening to the wonderful sounds, textures and vocals and it never gets old. If you ever have the opportunity to get and really listen to this album you will not be disappointed. Enjoy the photos and the video links for a couple of my favorite songs. Next up... some favourite male singers?

Male singers are coming. No Zappacosta I have seen him but never shot him. Saw him fairly recently actually and he is an awesome performer and a great singer as well. Thanks Wayne for reminding me

My friend Anita bought 4 of the photos from the Bentley show from you back then, we met online when I put up the Dalbello Tribute Page on Myspace. I met a lot of other fans by doing that, plus I met Lisa online before that, which was awesome!
I also found the Rockpalast show on dvd, those vids you posted are from that dvd, my friend Jeffrey put them onto Youtube for me, I did not know how! LOL! The fans work together, we love Lisa as much as you do! Cheers, Phoenix Grey

See the evolution of Dalbello starting with a lack of make-up to fully made-up.
