that is a great cover, but the lyrics are lacking.

Sometimes for me words are secondary...but not always. Depends on the song. My ears are geared for the midrange, unless it's an opera diva going full tilt, then I thrive on a high note.

Still thinking of Latifah, I know a lot of people who, if reading your post, would instantly write you off and pay no more attention to anything out of you. I had that inclincation for a split second, then caught myself. After all, you did come around to Pollini.

As for Coltrane, I think the lyrics there, it's just not sung....

i think if they feel that way, then it's better for all concerned if they pay no attention. No skin off my nose :-)

i'm following my ears, not someone else's preferences. more music gets into my head that way. for me, that's the point.

meanwhile, i'll continue doing everything i can to improve the quality of my musical perception.
the sight singing lessons are doing some good i think, and practice is going well.
