Roger, there was a C.B.C. performance on the Vinyl Cafe of Christmas in the Trenches last weekend and I had to pull my car over to the side of the road as I couldn't see for the tears. It always does that to me. Also, I can't sing Amazing Grace without breaking up and I'm not a Christian, so it always takes me by surprise. My daughter finds that concentrating on a spot on the wall at times is helpful, although I did notice an emotional break during one of her a capella performances of She's Like a Swallow. It was certainly a stunning performance, and I think the emotional connection that the singer has with the music is what the audience longs for in a singer. Although, if it overwhelms you to the point that you can't finish it, I could see that as being a problem. Maybe there is some trick of distancing yourself from the piece without getting so far away emotionally, that you don't connect at all?
