Subject: RE: BS: Kendall and Johns-Hopkins
Kendall's not old and I don't snore. And he did sing on Saturday. Mike and Tawmmie are my witnesses. Tawmmie reminded me of something. There are people who have never heard Kendall's "old" voice and love the new one for the same reasons.
No one can put a song across as honestly and straightforward as Captain Morse. No extra trills, no flourishes. He sings it at it was written and lets it stand on its own.
The first time I heard "And The Band Played Waltzing Mathilda" it was sung by a some simpering, over emotional gold record wannabe. I hated his style and the soppy song he sang. Then I heard Kendall sing it and was stopped dead in my tracks at the brutal, angry, honesty of the song. Kendall instinctively knows how to let a song stand on its own, how to phrase it just right.
So stop bitching like a grumpy old man and start using the talents and gifts you still have. GODDAMMIT!
Now...do you want me to warm your slippers? Are your feet cold? Wear yourgloves and a waterproof jacket - it's raining. In fact, stay in and I will bring you some hot soup. Chicken or beef noodle? Do you have oyster crackers in stock or shall I stop and get some? How are you fixed for ...?
