Ferrando and Guglielmo, two young officers discuss the true faithfulness of their fiancées. A cynical old man, Don Alfonso, joins in their conversation and bets them that if they give him one day’s time, he can prove to them that all women are fickle. Ferrando and Guglielmo agree to the wager. Sisters, Fiordiligi and Dorabella, the two fiancées, happily compare pictures of their boyfriends when the two officers arrive telling them that they have been called for war. Secretly, they will return in disguise and do whatever Alfonso says.

Singer/Writer Charlene Oliver on Orphan Train, her novel of the Holocaust

Charlene Oliver, who spoke with KGLP Station Manager Rachel Kaub, has often been defined by
"The song with a life of it's own":

 "I've Never Been To Me" was first released in 1976. It was, by the standards of the day, ahead of it's time. It reached #97 on the Billboard charts. When it was re-released in 1982 it climbed to #3 in the US and #1 in the UK where Paul McCartney and Stevie Wonder dominated the chart
with Ebony and Ivory.
 
By then Charlene had left Motown Records and was working in a sweet shop in England.
The song was one of the biggest hits of that year. Nearly a decade later, it was featured as the
opening song of the hit movie The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert, which garnered her a large LGBT following. Last year Jimmy Fallon chose  the song to perform on his hit TV show. 
                           
Charlene released six albums all together but her creativity reached beyond music. She has written two books, her autobiography and a children's book. Now she has partnered with Olly Olly All In Free Productions to launch the release of her new Historical Fiction Novella "Orphan Train", Charlene's story of Christina Nava. She is fifteen years old in a small village in Poland. Follow her as the Nazi's invade her country and banish her and her family to the Jewish Ghettos. Next stop will be Ravensbruck Concentration Camp.  Her epic journey through the Holocaust will be a tale
of horror, death and anguish as she searches for love, hope....and Freedom...
