I am happy I’ve seen him. Even if all the wishes in the world were mine, I could not have imagined a face as perfectly handsome as Gianluca’s.
I am so grateful I know who he is. Even if magic was alive and real, I would not have known it was Ignazio I wanted in my dreams at night.
Piero and Mary B
I am thrilled he hopped in a cab with Loretta, Mary B. and I. Even if I had a note from everyone who has ever known him, I would not have believed the unspoiled graciousness of Piero.
I am so fortunate to have heard them. Even if all the angels in heaven had formed a choir, I would not have heard a sound as exquisitely beautiful as the music of the three young men who stole our hearts.

Why are they so different from other singers? Ruth (Ruth Rapp), believes it because “Music speaks to that place within us that matters the most, and nobody understands that better than Il Volo.”
So, that’s why we listen.
Why did we fall for them so completely? Mary B (Mary Bohling) thinks it’s because “With our Boys what you see is what you get.”
So, that’s why we hang on every word they print.
How do they make us feel?
Well, “The thought of them warms the heart on a cold winters night”, says Jane (maryjane56).
So, that’s one reason we love them.
Do they even have healing power? Laura (Laura Lee Badtke) thinks so, “…listening to my boys is the best medicine ever.”
So, that’s why we share their music with others.
Can it be simply said?
Sure, Myron (Myron Heaton) can, “What music, what heart, what soul.”
So, that’s why we’ll be fans, forever!
What if we dare miss a concert?
“I am still pained by missing them..last summer. There was much wailing and gnashing of teeth on that situation.” I feel Connie‘s (Piratesorka’s) pain.
So, that’s why we patiently (?) wait for a new concert schedule.
What do we want?
You’re right Loretta (Loretta Foley), Boys, “Enjoy your time at home and rest sweethearts, we are waiting with open arms for your return.”
So, that’s why we wait some more!
What about the friends we’ve gained? Carol (CaroljB) says, “It’s as though we’re many hearts, but one soul joining with them.”
So, that’s what they have allowed us to be.
Could they even be ambassadors?
According to mlla they are, “They revive peoples interest in Italian art, music, landscaping, historic sites, etc.”
So, that’s why we’re so interested in all they do.
I think we give our hearts because they have heart, they have faith in themselves and they have us.
And when they come back, to quote our Helen (Helen, oh you know), it will be the “Beautiful Spring of the Boys Return.”
OK Flight Crew, since the Boys left I’ve tried to keep it light and humorous, but
today I’m experiencing the honest emotions of the season. So, it is with a refrigerator
filled with ingredients for my share of Christmas dinner and love for my family
wrapped in red and green tissue paper under the tinsel, that I have to tell you all how
I truly feel.
Piero (12/16) “Today we’ll be back home!!”
Ignazio (12/18) “Going back home!!!! Sooooo excited!! Kisses”
Gianluca (12/11) “Ladies and Gentleman. I’m in Italy!”

THE LAMENT
You all went too far for me. I can’t go across the sea.
I’m sad, so sad I want to weep, but in my heart a place you’ll keep.
Ok, be home to rest and play and love your families everyday.
I’ll be patient and wait, you’ll see. Just please come back and sing to me.
~Marie
Come in and share the love of life, friends and Il Volo!
