๐ซถGeoff has such a great sound. I love his tone above the very lowest of low notes. And I do enjoy his gentleness here. All flowers to him for making these public. You can tell heโs thought a lot about how to do the song, and includes some more unusual choices. ๐๐ฝ๐๐ฝ๐๐ฝ My fav version of โBlackbirdโ is this one from totally amateur high schooler Emma Stevens. Itโs sung in Miโkmaq. This too is a gentle version. No theatrics at all. But Sir Paul loved it so much he invited her and her music teacher (whoโs playing guitar on the audio track) to his concert and gave them a shout out from the stage. https://youtu.be/99-LoEkAA3w Iโm not a singer, so I didnโt understand the transition was such a tough this. I thought it was just croaky old me. ๐ Tim Foust says sliding through oneโs whole range is something he encourages bass singers to do. Maybe itโs easier for these guys. Thanks for the reaction. Iโm here because I like the detailed analysis.

Sorry you had such a rough week - it must be something in the air, or maybe the super blue moon because this week has been nuts all over! Thank you for unabashedly sharing your delight in music with us all.
