Joseph Low -----Original Message----- From: lug-bounces+joelct=singnet.com.sg@leica-users.org [mailto:lug-bounces+joelct=singnet.com.sg@leica-users.org] On Behalf Of Bernard Quinn Sent: Monday, October 08, 2007 10:57 AM To: Leica Users Group Subject: Re: [Leica] Never judge a cover by its book huh? I am with Sonny and Bob on this one. I am a cellist, not a singer or vocal coach. He ran into some problems at the end, but so what and who the hell cares? He sang his guts out. What's striking is that it was a performance which electrified the audience. I loved it. Just for fun I think I will forward this clip to some friends of mine who are professional classical musicians who make their livings performing and see what they think. It's also interesting how this thread moved from his performance, which grew out of the time, place, and situation in which he was singing to playing the victrola. Yeah, this guy has hours and hours and hours of back breaking work in front of him. Classical music isn't easy. Not for the performers and not for the audience. It isn't meant to be. I hope he tries, and I hope he makes it. I love music because it deals directly with the major themes of life. As far as I am concerned the major theme he and the audience dealt with in his performance was joy and the celebration of life. Good for him. Good for the audience. He communicated with them, big time. That's what it is all about.
