25. Can't argue with that, and wouldn't if I could!

Trying to pick a favorite singer would be impossible for me, because it tends to be the one I'm listening to at the moment. How could I choose between Muddy Waters and BB King? Or, Paul Robeson? Leonard Cohen? SRV? JD Simo? Dylan? Baez? Tracy Chapman? ODETTA? Bono? Barack Obama? The list is almost endless even if highly selective.

Thanks btw for the video.

I've noticed the President seems to favor tenor. That doesn't mean he hasn't got a wider range, though. I'd be curious to know. The cowboy singer from the '30's and '40's, Rex Allen, had one of the widest vocal ranges I ever heard, with perfect pitch too. He had Roy Rogers and that other guy beat flat.

Regardless, you can betcher boots that the 'album cover' pic of the President is going to find itself on my living room wall. It's just too fantastic for the office.
