Enunciation

Ok, so I've already mentioned how I love the way he sings through his notes and adds a little extra oomph at the end of some of them. I notice it's on the "N" sounds mostly that he does this. N's and M's I guess. I really love how well he enunciates his lyrics. I never have trouble understanding the words to any of the songs he sings. There's one line from one song that I had some trouble with, and that was Bandstand Boogie. I didn't know what the line was after "The Singer's Croonin" but thanks to some helpful internet poster, I have just learned the line is "He ain't the greatest but gee".

Also previously I had stated that I wished he would harmonize with himself more and I was only able to find three examples of this. Well, the more I listen, the more I realize he actually does harmonize with himself more than I thought. I was listening to a studio recording yesterday and there he was, singing with himself but of course now I cannot remember the name of the song.


It's silly, really. I listen to him all morning through my computer until it's time to get ready for work. Then I listen to him in my car for the whole commute in to work. Then I get to work and start listening to him through my computer between calls. And then when I get home from work or poker, I listen to him all night while playing Bejeweled or some other silly Facebook game, until it's time to go to bed. I often wake up with one of his songs playing in my head, not necessarily the last one I listened to before going to sleep.

I keep wondering if and when this will end but so far it's barely shown signs of slowing down. In fact, as I said in one of my earlier posts, I am still searching YouTube for videos of recent performances and the folks who went to see him at the Greek Theater earlier this week (right before his birthday) have not let me down!
