notes doesn't mean I should, or that I think I sound good doing it. Probably a not very good lyric
baritone. Better accepted in bluegrass and old country. And love singing high harmony. Odd, the
progressions.

But we digress; the parallel with voice and strength in my own life and that of others led to my observation
about your young giant. I look forward to seeing your pictures of him down the road as he grows into
and beyond what he's doing now.
my little brother does storytelling and folk and blue grass. He plays banjo, mandolin and guitar. It's my old banjo but he plays it better than I ever did. Many people like to imitate opera singers (usually as a gag) but I still love to sing folk music (love to sing along to O Brother Where art Thou)although I assume to a real folk singer it sounds kind of like those people who imitate opera singers.
