actually chris, to take your response seriously- after years of complaints of
how young students should not imitate the mature sounds of adult singers,
some having more dramatic voices than any of us will ever have (do we want a
sixteen year old baritone imitating george london?), it is a good thing we
now have a model for young singers that is young. or maybe we should just
tell our students not to bother imitating anyone (they never sound like them
anyway). think, for a moment, of the three year old boy who walks around in
his dad's shoes. even if his dad's shoes are custom made of the best
material, he'd be better off in his own, off the rack bargains.

with regard to my sarcasm- i was thrown out of my twelve step program for
sarcasm recovery at the third step when it was discovered my sarcasm is
genetic.
