Yma Sumac, "the Inca princess"

I'd just heard of Yma Sumac and her multi-octave voice fairly recently, and now it seems she passed away. Don't know who made this stylish short documentary about her. It reminds me of Cocteau and Welles, just a bit. It's entitled "La Castafiore Inca (Part I)". And no, I can't seem to locate part two. Is this it?

this is Mike Gravel's Myspace site. I wonder if Pink know his profile features one of her tracks("Dear Mister President"), and would she be tickled if she knew? Incidentally, Gravel was the person, back in the day, who read the Pentagon papers into the congressional record, to make sure they wouldn't "disappear into history."

Google disses Chile(and demonstrates the brave new web world isn't so infallible after all.)

speaking of Myspace and sundry web 2.0 phenomena, I've gotten word via one of my many newsletters that there's a new organization named A28.org that has created an "impeachspace" website, and has declared April 28th "the day the impeachment movement starts." Oh, A28. I get it, sort of. Why April 28th? This I still haven't figured out.
