Well, the video did everything possible to prevent itself from being heard by you, Kendall. You can hardly blame it for finally succumbing to your technical ministrations.

I understand the bittersweet quality of hearing yourself. On the other hand, the times I have heard you perform in the last few years have been amazingly powerful for me - not because of the quality of your voice, but because of the quality of your person. Somehow your Self has seemed even more present than in the past. I think of you and Jacqui singing "Phoebe Snow" at the Getaway, or the concert you did with Utah. It's like without your vocal abilities, you've got nothing to prove and you can simply be, relying completely on the feeling of words. When you have that, you've really got it - and nothing will ever take it away.

I like the video a lot. It's a wonderful performance. But still, I'd take the real live Kendall any day over some old video.
