About This Homepage

The homepage was created spontaneously.

I saw the touching story about Paul Potts on YouTube and got to think of Enrico Caruso.

And since I did not find any Danish website about Caruso, I decided to make one and later translated it into English.

My deceased father was a great fan of Caruso and I became one when I had "grown up" (born 1950).

I myself grew up in a working-class family. None of my parents were able to get a higher education - even if the abilities and the desire were present.

Not that I think a formal or higher education always is an advantage. It really depends on the person. Any education also includes a certain degree of indoctrination that may hamper creativity and new thinking.

Caruso's primary education did not amount to much more than a couple of years and the duration of his singing lessons was much less than that of most singers. He created his own ways.
