Shea Andersen: At the Roundhouse

Michael Sanchez: opera lover

After a long Sunday on the floor of the Senate, it turns out that one way Senate Majority Leader Michael Sanchez likes to unwind is with a little opera.

Sunday night I was waiting in his office when he came in off the floor, popped an Andrea Bocelli CD into his player, and filled the office with opera.

Seems fitting to me; as we grind through a multi-hour debate today on Indian gaming issues in the Senate, there is a fair bit of melodrama down there on the floor.

Last night's music attracted Sen. Clint Harden, who came to admire Sanchez's stereo and recommend that he put a little country music on it.

In fact, Sanchez was regretting that he was up here and not down in Albuquerque attending the Alison Krauss concert. A multi-faceted majority leader.
