WOW, absolutely wonderful. Well, Meself and Bobad - it brought tears from my eyes without a doubt. I hope someone gets behind her and she gets the chance to take her voice as far as she wants to go with it. As for me - how dare I call myself a pro, I can't hold a candle to that top-shelf voice, no way.

Listening to Susan Boyle reminds me of the time several years ago when I attended a local church production of the play, "The Passion." There was a lady who came out three times dressed as an angel and sang songs with one of the most beautiful, full, enchanting voices I had ever heard. I asked to see her after the show and she approached me as timid as a schoolchild. She was a rather short lady, about thirty-five, built like a pear and rather
plain looking to my eyes. I asked her where I could go and hear her perform and she told me nowhere but in church. She said she had been singing all of her life, she said she was "just" a mother of several children and she sings in church, and that's all. Wow!

When I was much younger, a player I respected told me that you have to keep your chops up because there's a "monster" on ever corner just waiting to take your place. So right, so very, very, right.
Give 'em hell Susan Boyle, you deserve it. Cheers,..........mwh
