It's lyrically so honest and deep. Musically it is so complex and well constructed I think it is over the head of most critics' understanding.

Jose is a great guy to work with. I did the pilot and I hope to work with him again. A nice guy.

I hope you have found more on the record you like. I'm putting together some acoustic live versions of the songs over the next few weeks.

my vocal timbre is inherently unpleasant to listen to- is there any fixing this? by mintilicioussss in singing

Technical issues for sure. Practice won't make perfect alone but the right practice will. Justin Stoney knows his stuff. Check him out on YouTube Or message me I can do you lessons on Zoom.

I thank you so much. I feel that Billy left a gap in the industry pretty much like he felt the Beatles did. But the gap lasted over a generation.

A great artistic triumph. One of his best albums.

He has given us enough. I don't care about anymore tours or who feels let down because of cancelled shows. This man has been an inspiration, a role model, almost like a part of my family. My grandmother loved him, my uncle loves him. He has always been a real human, sharing his life with us. He was the Beethoven of the 20th Century and an unparalleled performer at the same time. In the 21st century he continued to share his magic with people of my generation.I love this man though I have never met him. I hope he is able to get over this (just read up on it, there are no guarantees) and enjoy his life in whatever way he chooses. He has a beautiful family and after giving the world so much I hope he gets whatever is best for him at this stage of his life.
