Default Re: Ever notice how Gordon clearly articulates the sung word?

oh for sure all these intricasies, the perfectionism...that quality!! It's great to read these thoughts from GL fans as the only other times I've heard people discuss such has been in regards to Sinatra.

And is how I came to be a Sinatra fan of sorts and but not like these guys who only listen to Sinatra and I ain't (as Patti would say ) among those...but I will go on and on about GL in a similar manner.

Last Friday I was driving along and could overhear music blasting from a car behind me in the next lane and quickly recognized that it was Sinatra. I was thinking COOL...much the same response I would have if I were overhearing GL. So then ya know -I was wondering just who would be blasting Sinatra and had to try to take a peek but it then occurred to me that it must me the one person I know who would be blasting Sinatra!!

Yeah it was my former prof/mentor/boss!!! I never knew him to listen to anything but! There was not a day that went by in 5 years that I knew him where he would be singing, humming a Sinatra tune or talking Sinatra. And I thought it was so special that along with the thoughtful graduation gift of nice book he editted and contributed to -he also gave me a cassette he made for me of his favorite Sinatra songs...so thoughtful!
