There is a big problem with putting your music up in an international forum, when you're local for yourself,
and I'm not.
I grew up in the Niagara Peninsula, the global home of commercial hydro.
My hometown, Welland, has the highest per capita of residential online in Ontario, what could be the world,
and more colour TVs were sold here than anywhere else in the peninsula.
What does this mean, for your "Fly me to the moon" cover?
I've heard that song sung so much on the radio, Frank Sinatra, Mel Torme, Wayne Newton,
all done with the hottest big band arrangements,
with B list singers doing it on telethons with TV orchestras,
the best of these being used in movies and TV specials.
I even think Dean Martin flew himself to the moon on his weekly show,
just like Judy Garland did during her series.
Quite possibly The Ames Brothers, three part harmony, did my favorite, if I had one.
Right now you might be wishing I liked "Taxi Driver" more and was taking one away.
You can imagine how it sounds to me when it's only bass, drums, piano and a vocalist.
If I'm going to comment on the vocals, here in Canada and the United States,
a more flat, more tremolo-less vocal style is usually the norm, with a sharp to on pitch vocal style for beginning notes,
with an on key to descending flat approach to ending notes, more stylized.
These vocals sound more like a broadway musical artist without a cast, a rehearsal.
However, I'd sooner look at your photo than anyone I've mentioned here, and that includes me.
Just like watching North American newscasters, it's easy to take their vocal and presentation styles for granted,
until you try imitating all the facial contortions and hand movements, never mind the hair and wardrobe.
Frank Sinatra might have swung heavy on his way to the moon, but he was a shouter,
competing with trumpets for attention, coming from the days when PAs weren't as good and didn't have monitors.
Now with online, it's obvious here you've got me monitoring you, even if you didn't plug me in.
I can hear you singing "The Man I Love".
"some day he'll come along, the man I love,
and he'll be big and strong, the man I love".
That's when Corno Dolce will respond, basso profundo.
and I'm not.
