Thread Name: OK so what's wrong with me?
Subject: RE: OK so what's wrong with me?
This whole thread reminds me of the Garnet Rogers song "Jesus and Elvis", which is really the closest I've ever gotten to appreciating mr. Presley.

I do like the fact that the 4-chord sequence to "Blue Moon" segues rather humorously into several traditional folk-songs, and it's a good vocal warm-up.

Though I am a die-hard folkie, my guiltier pleasures include 80's heavy metal, Jimmy Buffet, and the broadway musical "hair"

And, in defense of my fellow canadian, Mr. L. Cohen, he's a brilliant, if depressing, songwriter who should jsut sit bakc and let others, with a vocal range more than a half-octave, cover his work. Jennifer Warnes did an entire album of cohen covers, and it was great, if a little bit poppy in places.

My 2 cents.
