ddw	strange singing techniques (35)	RE: strange singing techniques	25 Jun 04
I have no idea of the reason for the strange singing technique, but I agree with several others that it's probably some kind of affectation picked up from some admired singer. In the early and mid '70s everybody around Fiddler's Green Coffee House in Toronto used to ape the Ewan McC thing with the hand behind the ear or press lightly on the ear as they sang. Always seemed pretty silly to me. As for the shakers under discussion here, I'd bet on it being a copy of some local (or not-yet-famous) rocker these kids like. Rockers do all kinds of weird things to "look cool." cheers, david
