Ha!<BR/><BR/>The folks of the "Star Search Vocal" caliber would probably think this was a complimentary definition! Not just the national anthem...Christmas music too...what the hell is that? those extra "flourishes" and "embelishment" dragged out to infinity! Drag a cheese grater across my face!

Usually these times were for a live audience and in a natural acoustic or when I was so sick I could hardly talk. A reviewer once commented on my sexy sultry voice (brought to you by a fever and congestion). I can make a room vibrate and respond so much better than a mic. I hope someday to perform a "star vocal" into a mic singing my own songs with Walter Biffle playing banjo. Maybe it would be fun to do a Star Search vocal sometime too. I once got a review that said I sing "as if nothing in the world matters" of course that was from "Sing Out" - a folky magazine.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
