Abstract
How many people are there who still can testify that they heard Jussi Björling on many occasions? Mark Elyn was one who heard Jussi in rehearsal and on stage with him, in three major Verdi operas, in rooms large and small, up close and personal. As a young singer himself, fresh from Seattle’s Cornish School of Music, he was eager to learn useful vocal technique and found inspiration from Jussi’s example.
