Jim, you've been fighting this war so long that you always seem to bring the cavalry when a simple note will do.

That's fine, EM's accent didn't bother you. Well, it did and does me. I was merely responding to your take on EM's thoughts, which seem comically hypocritical when taken alongside how he actually sang.

His club's guidelines about singing in one's own accent I positively agree with and am grateful for, but again, they seem comically hypocritical when taken alongside how he actually sang.


That doesn't diminish his many positive qualities, like every human, he was flawed.
