Well I see the mouse gremlin has invaded my computer again. Here's what I tried to say: I have mixed feelings about this, as described.
Although if Dirk Powell is somehow associated it must have some validity. I'm all for artistic experimentation, it's just the making of $ off dead people that makes me leery.

One of the arguments that Ron O. advances is that you can always go back to the originals. So, some youngster hears Almeda Riddle re-mixed and re-timed, goes to her old stuff and is vastly disappointed by her "out of meter" singing. Is that fair to her, or to traditional style singing in general? Also, it's a whole different thing if someone else interprets and performs Almeda's songs - the onus is on that performer, not her.

To stretch the point ridiculously, (thinking of the John Wayne beer commercial) what if some producer superimposed Almeda's face on the body of a nubile young performer in an XXX-rated film, would that be fair to Almeda? I suspect not.
