My recent concert post gathered me a surprising amount of private feedback. I’m wondering a little why it wasn’t done publicly, but that’s fine. Most of it was positive, but I was taken to task a little for my less-than-glowing evaluation of Marshy Hall. As I told them, a critique is just one person’s opinion. And that was wonderful if his tragic-sounding voice worked for them, but it sure didn’t for me.

I was thinking later after I wrote the post, tragic, that’s what he conveys. It’s like he’s always singing about something tragic. Which would be fine if he actually was, but a steady onslaught of undeserved vocal tragicness is rather wearying.
