Once i was singing a song, and had an expression on my
face, to which a listener commented "You really feel the
song, don't you?" that was the best complimant ever!
I sometimes close my eyes when i sing, which makes it
difficult when in a group to see signals, give a nod to
a soloist to take a break, or generally communicate with
others when jamming. The best part of a song is when it
tells a story or conveys a feeling--then it has accomp-
lished the goal of exchanging information, teaching a
lesson, encouraging an emotional response.
I am still not sure how to explain this phenominon:
I recently heard a description of many musical people
who are Jewish who often sing heart-felt (Christian)
gospel numbers.
