I love Gabriel. Great song, too. I do Gabriel (Sledgehammer, Digging
in the Dirt, Solsbury Hill, in Your Eyes, Big Time, Shock the Monkey
and some others) at karaoke (and well, I'm told, to head that avenue
off). I wish I could find a woman to sing "Don't Give Up" with.
Apparently Kate Bush isn't easy for women to do.
So you can add singer to your long list of things you don't believe
about me.
Say, I have an idea that could settle lots of things. Arny could come
record me singing and you could play it through your Orions. You could
tell us if my voice sucked or if the recording did. ;-)
Phil Collins can't carry Gabriel's jockstrap. Genesis went straight to
the toilet when he left.

I saw Madeline Peyroux (sp?) live outdoors with Keb Mo a few years
ago. My girlfriend and I were both blown away by her. She started
getting radio play the following year, so I suppose this was before
she "hit the big time". If you listen to her first CD on a good
system, though, it sounds like she's singing in a reverb tank. It's
awful and overdone (IMO), but outdoors through a regular live concert
SR system (in a small amphitheater which only seats about 800) she
sounded absolutely great. You can't tell on "regular" speakers. I
haven't heard any of her other CDs, so I can't say if it's a
consistent problem.
