On the other hand, arcadia, I remember the furor that erupted when 'crooners' started being popular (at least from reading about it, I'm not THAT old!). This wasn't 'singing' they said.... Now these very 'crooners' are held up as examples to a new generation of singers, the very thing that was done to them!
Don't we just start to sound like our parents, the older we get....! One day, THIS guy will be held as an example of fine 'singing' to contrast with whatever the NEXT generation thinks is good!
