I'm disappointed at not being able to offer you any Silas Hogan, one of the greats of Louisiana swamp blues. Every day it seems that more things become unavailable. Locating links used to be the easy part of this job.

To clear things up about the Handel: Francesca Bertolli (known more for her beauty than for her voice - which makes it strange that I couldn't locate a likeness of her) sang in about 15 or 20 of Handel's operas during her career, creating roles in some of them. In Giustino (1737) the role she created was that of Leocasta, which is sung here by Jennifer Lane.
