well, there's at least one who agrees with my going on and on about this...and you also speak of him ridding the capo or lowering it due to his restricted range but some have said how the use of a capo (or placing it higher) helps to counteract the restricted range of some vocalists as they age...i feel GL has constraints on the high end not the low end, and even if he did, not hitting low notes with any power or accuracy is not near as frown-provoking to listeners, imo

well, we'll just have char sit down with Gord and discuss the matter next chance
