Words & Music by Amanda Stevenson, BMI, SGA.
[Verse A1]
Wait until you meet my . . . sweet Marina
And you will see how she can . . . make my day.
She’ll greet you with a warm embrace,
A rosy glow will light her face,
Then you will know why I‘ve been swept away . . .
By MY MARINA. MY MARINA.
[Bridge]
When I heard Marina singing, I found myself at Heaven’s door.
Her angel voice was so enchanting, unlike any sound I’ve heard before.
[Verse A2]
No one would believe ↑ how much she loves me.
Marina is the answer to my prayers.
She always makes me feel sublime,
And says, “I love you” all the time.
I haven’t felt such happiness in years . . .
With MY MARINA. MY MARINA.
(Coda)
No one would believe ↑ how . . . much she loves me!
MY MARINA.

The sound of her singing voice strongly resembled Bruna Castagna’s. Carlo Bergonzi called her “one of today’s few true mezzos”—adding “all the others are short soprano’s”--and sang “Condotta ell’era in ceppi” from Il trovatore with her. She didn’t always light up, but when she did she had a”fuoco sacro” that was intensely moving.--Stefan Zucker

In 1966, in the year that Madeline Katz was born, on September 8th, the first Star Trek episode, "The Man Trap," was broadcast on NBC. The plot concerned a creature that sucked salt from human bodies. The original series only aired for 3 seasons due to low ratings.
In 1979, she was just 13 years old when on November 4th, Iranian militant students seized the US embassy in Teheran and held 52 American citizens and diplomats hostage for 444 days. They were released at the end of the inauguration speech of the newly elected Ronald Reagan.
In 1983, when she was 17 years old, "crack" cocaine was developed in the Bahamas and spread to the United States. Previously, cocaine had been cut with other substances, diluting it. Crack was 80% pure and therefore was more addictive. It was also cheaper, making it more easily available to low income neighborhoods.
In 1990, by the time she was 24 years old, on April 24th, the Hubble telescope was launched into space after long delays due to the Challenger explosion.
